HI! I'm Alex Smith,I'm a 28 year old illustrator, and this is my sketch blog. I started Sketch Party 2000 in April of 2007 with no real goals in mind. Soon after, it evolved into a daily ritual. I posted a sketch, photo, film, or some other piece of my art every day for a year. Somewhere in the middle of that year I went back to school, and if you start at the beginning and move toward the current entries you should be able to see that I paid attention in class. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy posting them, don't let this be your last visit. Updated Monday, Wednesday and Friday (and any other time I feel like it).

Entry 33






What a difference ten years can make. Today while cleaning up my studio I found an image that I drew when I was 16, in 1997. The drawing was a girl with her head slightly down holding a single rose. It was actually in my “re-draw these” pile, and when I saw it and noticed the year, I decided that today was the day to give it a mulligan. The new drawing is more natural, has better lines, and an all around more attractive look. I made some minor changes to the girl’s appearance, I thought she needed a subtle smile for example, but tried to keep the same basic concept. I posted a scan of the original, big signature and all, so you can see the differences and (hopefully) improvements. I enjoyed drawing this one, so maybe I’ll do some more ladies in the next few days. See ya tomorrow.
