Family Time

I was at the park today and watching all the families walking along reminded me of me and my family walking around parks and the Chicago lake front as a kid. So that inspired this piece. Below I've posted all the iteration of the making of this piece. Enjoy!

Rough sketch drawn at the park. I roughly outlined my original lines in Photoshop since it was hard to see.

Roughing out more details before I start the final drawing.

Pencils.

Inked.

Final colored inks with some touch ups in Photoshop.

I guess I'll say a few more words. I actually don't like drawing characters of my family much, because I'm always afraid I'll get them wrong. So apologies to my family. I have very fond memories of all the trips to the parks we made growing up. I don't want this to get all emotional, so I'm done saying words now.

Just a quick comic I drew while watching today's game. Enjoy!

Saying Goodbye To Another Sketchy Magee

Honestly surprised it took less than a year to fill her up. Or maybe I'm not that surprised. Here's what I've been up to over the past 8-9 months.

Working on my comic Mito and Me.




Watching a ton of Justice League and Justice League Unlimited and sketching Wonder Woman.


Sketching in the park.


Sketching ladies...

...ladies with tea...


...pants-less ladies...

and lady faces.


And, of course, no sketchbook would be complete without naked ladies.

I drew some fellas too.

Playing with markers.


And watching the cancelled, now no longer cancelled Community. This was inspired by a quote by Chang, although, I'm pretty sure I wrote the quote down wrong.


Bonus!

While sketching at the park this older drunk man sat down on the bench next to me to watch me draw. He said that he used to draw when he was younger and asked if he could sketch in my book. So, reluctantly, I let him. He said the picture was of me sailing in a boat with the eyes of God peaking over the horizon watching me. His name is Williem. He said when he was a teenager he sent his art portfolio to some schools in Europe, but never heard anything back. He told me though, that maybe, someone someday might look though my sketchbook and recognize his work in it. So that was fun!

Art by Williem, the dude in the park.


Double Bonus!!

So the printer at work was acting up and taking a long time to print. So in between printing files I did some sketching in the margins of my paperwork.

Work scribblings.
