‘Tomehenge’ work progression

Ideally, I’d remember to put these together and post them before the finished product. Oh well.

For a closer look, right-click the picture and select “View image.”

Work in progress on my entry for the environment challenge.

‘Texthenge Tomehenge’

Final thumbnail for an entry to ConceptArt.org’s Environment of the Week challenge #121. From the instructions:

The image of a book or books becomes part of the environment. or the environment springs forth from the pages of the book.

I’ve decided to try a version of Stonehenge constructed entirely from books.

Edit: Thanks to my brother, for suggesting a better name.

Horses everywhere.

I figured I should teach myself to draw horses properly this summer, at least get the anatomy down, if not all the movements. After all, there are about 50 horses at camp, and I’d be an idiot to let that kind of opportunity get away. Here’s a solid afternoon’s worth (or two? days are blurring together a little) of dedicated sketching:

More animals…

On the left, gesture drawings of a few turkeys in the corral. They were looking for bits of horse-feed on the ground, I guess. On the right, my first attempt at drawing a horse from life. Not great, but I posted it because on the same page I did a quick horse caricature that I kinda liked.

Deer, etc.

On the left, one of the many deer that wander through camp. They’ll pass by as close as 10 feet away – totally unafraid. The antlers are a bit of creative license on my part – weren’t more than nubs on the actual animal. On the right, a horse(?) skull that’s nailed to one of the uprights at the corral (a bit spooky) and a nice evergreen. Probably a Ponderosa pine, there are a lot of them up here. Might be something else, though.

Coworkers and critters

Two more pages from training week: a few rough sketches of some of my coworkers practicing guitar together, and a random troll/ogre sort of thing. Might work up a few turnarounds or action poses on that one at some point this summer.
