Quick Sketch Class

I've been fortunate to be able to sit in on my friend/mentor/teacher Tim Decker's quick sketch class this semester. It's been a loooong time since I've sat in a live model class. So I'm milking this for as much as I can. It keeps up the pencil mileage and forces me to really look and analyze. I will try to make this a weekly post, as the class is every Friday. Here are some selections from the last two classes I sat in on.

Jun-Ichi Fujikawa

Hahaha. It appears that Jun-Ichi Fujikawa was working on the same theme as Scott and I were at the same time. Take a look at his site for the month of February 08. Man, that dude is bad.

Claudio Acciari

An Italian who has a really wicked grasp of a variety of styles and wears his 70's era anime influence on his sleeve. Bravo, what an inspiration.

Really beautiful color studies. The first time I'd ever seen Lou Romano's work was in the "Art of the Incredibles" book. This man's got a way with color.

I've never been a fan of American superhero stuff but Steve E. Gordon is such a consummate artist that one just has to just shut up and learn. Fantastic site design also.
