AOC. roysanchez.art

Drawings like this are hard and I never finish them because I spend so much time with the values and face proportions and then I just erase it all and paint over that stuff. Maybe I’ll fix the weird hand and paint it but I think I’m done with it

Hey everyone! I'm leading a comics sketchbook workshop this Saturday from 2 to 4pm at the Astoria Studio Collective community room, 1010 Duane St. It's free unless you'd like to donate to help offset costs. Check out our upcoming programs page at clatsopcountyartscouncil.com/programsandsupport

Everyone is welcome to attend, especially anyone who has ever worried their drawings are "good." We'll make characters and comics by doing a few drawing practices inspired by Lynda Barry. This are fun and challenging and really help to create art quickly.

Everyday face. 24/365. Felt like painting and playing with old ideas. I was thinking about why drawing celebrities feels silly but they are recognizable.

Also there is some intent to sell these I suppose, so why would someone want a portrait of someone they don’t know? Or of you know Dog the Bounty Hunter?

JC. 22 / 365. If you stare at a face long enough it starts to look like whoever you decide its supposed to be. Kinda like the monkeys in a room on typewriters writing novels

Everyday face project. 19/365. The control of pencil and also eraser makes me really nitpicky for small mistakes. That’s probably good for important projects but I get started and then two hours later I need to color in the background.

A news guy. 18/365. Practicing different faces and poses and playing with simple colors. There are no rules for this series besides try new ways to convey people and implement drawing and painting

I’m always surprised how easy it is to use only red, blue, and yellow for skin tones. Being precise with premixed colors feels like a waste of time when no one bothers to notice. You have to look really hard to figure out I used orange for the hands

A monster in his own right 16 / 365. If I’ve learned anything from painting, it’s that values matter much more than color. I don’t like this red color but just blending it with some of the charcoal gives an illusion of skin tone. Maybe not

Faces every day. Here’s the first week of a year long project where I draw a face every day.

All were done in about ten minutes with a spontaneously chosen crayon and a face in a magazine

Any suggestions for a theme or style I should attempt?

Abby the dog is what I’ve named this dog that is not a real dog but a painted dog. Named Abby.

I wish I could use social media to actually share my artwork but I don’t get much from it. I actually have a website also where I used to sell things but I just have never been able to sell things with any frequency

Is this complaining? Of course! But I am curious and spinning my wheels so to speak.

I say all this just to impart that I’m going to post more often and try to sell more stuff. Love, Roy
