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 64




I've been wanting to draw a smokin' hot pirate lady for a while now, plus I've been in serious need of working on backgrounds. So here she is with background elements HEAVILY inspired by a couple of Mike Wieringo's recent sketches. I really love the way he does beachy/shoreline kinda things, lots of bird, nice big clouds, etc. I just need to work harder on making my water look more like water. I really think I'm going to come back and clean this up some later, maybe even add some colors :)

*edit*
added the cleaned up version to top

*edit*
added a third version with some minor changes based on crits
