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 291: The Gentleman


This is my first finished drawing using Dr. Martens dyes. I really like how they work and I can see that with practice and effort I'll be able to do some really effective coloring with them.
He's not anyone in particular, but I had characters like Bill Sykes from Oliver Twist and Neil Gaimans' Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandermaar from Neverwhere in mind.
