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 609: Getting used to a face


When I start working on an illustration, especially one that includes the likeness of a real person I do a lot of roughs and thumbnail work. These sketches were to help me get used to drawing this guy's face, and also to decide how much of a caricature/cartoon it should be.

Entry 608: Ronin

Something I'm working on, a ronin. the object on the bottom of the page is his wakizashi wrapped up in cloth. Itried to make him look a little gaunt and strung out, but I think I can make that more obvious.
