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 75



I drew that first cowboy way back in '98 when I first started reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series. The idea of Roland Deschain really appealed to me at the time, especially the mysterious loner figure he was in the first book. The drawing wasn't really meant to be Roland, but was definitely inspired by him, so I made this new drawing (in the same half-finished state)a little more gaunt, a little less heroic looking. I think I'll definitely come back to the gunslinger at some point in the near future.
