Sketches

Even though my kids are aware that their Dad is an artist, it’s not often I get requests from them. That might sound sur­pris­ing, but I prob­a­bly don’t sketch as much as I should. Most of my art­work is gen­er­ated on the com­puter and they just assume the zeros and bytes do most of the work.

Recently, my three-year-old son Quinn asked me to draw Beast from Beauty and the Beast. He handed me a Cray­ola Twistable crayon and two sheets of copy paper and stood by my side wait­ing for the results. He also reminded me that he wanted it deliv­ered pretty quickly, as if he had a pitch meet­ing to attend or something.

Since then I’ve been doing some sketches of other char­ac­ters you might rec­og­nize, the idea being that these are quick, dirty and recognizable.
