Two sketches today–both for the all new Practice Makes Perfect<\/a> Art Jam, a new blog started by Ric Nicholls<\/a>, which I am now a contributor to. Ric is one of the moderators of the He-Man.org<\/a> fan-art forum<\/a> that I mention so frequently, and he also happens to be an uber-talented artist.

Anyways, the first challenge was to come up with a “Living Tree of Woe<\/a>,” with an emphasis on working out the facial expression. After doing a couple of pages of fast pen sketches, I picked out the one that I liked the most, did a tight pencil version of it, then scanned and colored it:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To be honest, I think I got carried away with trying to get the tree part right, and failed to really nail the facial expression. I’m lame!<\/p>\n

Anyways, while sketching, I also drew a tree of woe with no face at all, emphasizing body language instead. I quickly tightened some pencils over it, scanned it, and slapped some colors on:<\/p>\n

I realize this in no way makes up for my failure to get the face right on the first one, but I just figured I’d share it since it was a by-product of my first attempt.<\/p>\n

Comments and critiques?<\/p>\n
