Today Batman #1, part of DC’s All New 52 came out! I cant put this comic down, fantastic art work by Greg Capullo, Scott Snyder and Jonathan Glapion! Started with one post it, and worked my way out..I might just sketch the whole cover using post its. Hope you enjoy!
Happy Friday to all!
I’m diggin Chris Sander’s work right now and trying to collect all his sketchbooks from comic-con…I love how he draws all his girls short and stacked front to back!
my tribute sketch to the awesome director/animator/producer/etc Mr Sanders…(he directed Lilo & Stich and How to Train Your Dragon)
Megan inked her up like Ariel and gave her a little midriff…YES!
Here @ Kensington we are proud of our rich history and heritage that stands the test of time from generation to generation. Kensington was originally founded by The Honourable William Edwardes Kensington the 4th, also known as the Baron of Kensington or Lord Kensington. As a very eccentric and avid lock collector, Lord Kensington was a very important figure in the County of Middlesex. In 1868 he was elected to the House of Commons for Havefordwest, and held the Security Seat until 1872. Lord Kensington never lost sight for his love of collecting mid-evil locks, widgets and all sorts of gizmos. Apart from his political career he also held the honorary post of Chief Lieutenant of Redwood Shire. In 1873, Lord Kensington invented a mechanical tamper proof, tumbling device for the Earl of Limrick, to lock down his expensive computational instruments and gauges. He filled for his first patent that very same year and he turned his love of collecting locks into much much more.
On a rainy day like today, nothing like little sketches to keep the imagination flowing…
I have been meaning to sketch out my motorcycle (my grandpa’s old bike) for some time now. I started with just a simple papermate fine point on marker paper with the sketch below. Feeling out the shapes, silhouette, proportions and placement of each part. There is lots of room in the engine area, because Benelli used this frame for 4 different size engines (125, 175, 250 and 360cc!). Click on each image below for the step by step demonstration!
Yesterday @ 6pm, a PG&E natural gas line blew a 30×20 ft crater in the earth of the San Bruno hills. The flame traveled through the lines and engulfed an entire neighborhood. This sketch is a tribute to the family, friends, firefighters, medics, Red Cross volunteers and others effected by the disaster. Our thoughts and prays go out to you!
What if Smart Car…..made a truck? While I was working the other day, I stared out the window at a Smart Car and thought….wow, it might be cool if they made a cute little truck. Make it a bit longer, add a really short bed, could be pretty sweet! ….no no, not a Isuzu Brat….a Smart Truck! 
Recently, Jon and I were asked to teach the Visulaization 1 class @ SJSU Industrial Design. It is something we both aspiring to do someday in the future…and that future is now. We are now 3 weeks into the class and the students seem to be responding really well, and bring a positive attitude to class everyday. Hopefully from their point of view we are able to connect, communicate, educate and inspire. I felt like the Circles Inside Squares demo was a great spot to start with our new posts for the class (as several other components that we have taught already appear here on LW’s). Enjoy!
First, sketch this out on a sheet of paper, cut it out and fold it up into a 6 sided cube.
Now, using your cube…sketch out what you see. Play with Perspective Views, View Angle, Eye Level of the cube…and then freehand the ellipses on each showing side of the cube!
Sketching random things you see or imagine and composing them into one sketch, can be a pretty interesting way to spice up your content. This is a combination of both things I came across, like the older gentleman on the right, the hand gun, and the city in the background…the skull, rocket ships and monkey in the space suit are from a Digital Art magazine. Had a bunch of fun with this sketch, hell…who doesn’t like drawing monkeys?

One most important thing about sketching I remind people are they are your personal notes to something that may become refined later on. I think a lot of people are apprehensive when it comes to sketching because what they draw doesn’t look exactly what they saw or what they imagine. Bringing and idea to completion takes time. Even the great masters took the time to plan and figure out how to get to the final piece of their work.
Sketching is a lot like note taking. You want to take as much as you can so you can go back to it for reference. You’ll most likely do more sketches after that to refine you idea. Below is a sketch of a droid I thought up quickly in my head. All the lines are merely suggestions of robotic and mechanical parts, nothing very specific, but just a quick and general idea. I can go back to this sketch to refine areas I want to later on to finalize the final idea of the droid. When sketching don’t draw the the details, make a suggestion of them, quick and fast.
Here is a quick sketch I did while out and about, but wanted to share it with LW’s quickly…so, im testing out the iPhone’s ability to get a nice posting up on wordpress. Sketched this on brown bag paper, took a photo, edited it with the Photoshop Mobile app and uploaded it with the WordPress app. I really want to explore the possibilities of sharing sketches/art/inspiration, quickly and at times when you dont have full computer access! Lets us know what you think… this concpet might become a regular on Lineweights! Enjoy!
Chair project I did back inschool (prisma+ballpooint):
We here @ Lineweights wish everyone a Happy New Year! We’re planning good things for twenty10 like another sketch crawl somewhere, a new look for the blog, new demo’s, and more stuff (please feel free to email us any suggestions!)
Here’s some rando noodling i neglected to post last year…dom doesnt like the sketch i did of him, but whatever, its not my fault he looks like that…
