Sketches by way of introduction

[S.C. Watson]

Well, since discovering this site not quite four days ago, it has become the only site in the world for me. I found it right at the right moment for me, despondant about my art and needing some sort of inspiration. The DSG is a godsend of unbelievable proportions.

Here, I humbly offer the first post for my sketchbook. I doodle and sketch in painter nightly now (which arrived via Airborne the same night I found CA - it's a sign I tell ya's!) and also maintain a traditional sketch book. I don't know if I'll be posting stuff daily (other then DSG), but I will try to maintain a schedule of some sort.

Painter - airbrush and watercolor. More, much, much more to come.

Wanted to post these as well. They're older work (done within the past year, except the cow, which was done a couple of years ago). All three graphite.

You have an awesome ability to render very cleanly, and your ideas are out of this world!

[S.C. Watson]

Thanks Famboozled, I like your stuff too.

Great stuff Oregano, the cow and the dog are my favorites.

My crits on the creature: The teeth looks off, as if they are not correctly aligned with the rest of the head. The bright blue in the mouth looks a bit weird to me, but perhaps it's supposed to be that way? Overall it´s looking like a good start though.

[S.C. Watson]

Hey Olsen, thanks for the crits. I agree with you about the teeth - but I think it's the jaw in general. The dude needs some realignment surgery.

When I was doing the coloring, I actually had those baboons with the intense muzzel colorings (red and turquise) in mind.

Thanks for the feedbacks everyone!
