Golf and Exquisite Corpses

I have been having some difficulty finding really interesting poses and faces in the magazines I have access to. Fashion magazines feature models with expressionless faces - their "perfect" bodies standing straight with their arms at their sides. A magazine featuring golfers though, that's what I call interesting. Golfers are always in interesting poses with looks of passion and concentration on their faces. They aren't always beautiful 20-somethings - more often they are experienced middle-aged people with wrinkles and scars.

I used graphite sticks today. I think there is something worth exploring here.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

Trying some new ways of picking colors for my digital pieces. I was not aware that Illustrator has a tint slider. I feel much more confident sticking to a very limited number of hues with a tint and shade for each. This illustration uses only three: blue, pink, and tan. Twinbee is one of my favorite video games - it perfectly captures the weird concepts and bright colors that find their way into my work. Not sure where this pose came from, but I didn't want it to waste away in my sketchbook.
