Troll Sketch

Troll sketch by Amy Crook
This little sketch was an experiment with a different style than my usual, and I’m rather pleased with the way he came out. I’m also amused that the scan is probably twice as big as the original, which is quite tiny in my little sketchbook.

Tenth Doctor, sketch 1,
by Amy Crook
I have finally accepted the inevitability that I’ll end up drawing Doctor Who cartoons, and as such worked up this little sketch of the Tenth Doctor. I’m not sure I’ve quite got his chin and mad hair working yet, but the costume is just right.

Tea pencil sketch by Amy Crook
After the week I’ve had, I could use a good cuppa. Shall I pour you one, too?

Tea Mug sketch

Tea Mug, sketch by Amy Crook
This little sketch christened my new pocket sketchbook! I drink my tea super cream-and-sugary (mmm half’n’half), so the white at the bottom is actually my drink. I didn’t let myself spend too long fussing over perspective or shading, so it’s got a funky slant I quite enjoy.
Have a cup on me this Sunday — what’s your favorite sort?

Sherlock Bookmark 3
by Amy Crook
Bookmark week continues with another Sherlock Holmes!
He skulks on this black bookmark in pencil, which makes his details vanish at the wrong angle, though the graphite catches the light nicely at the right angle. I painted in his green eyes, red buttonhole and blue scarf on a whim, and I like the way those little details leap out of the page at you.

You can really see his detailing in the detail photo, above, and of course I couldn’t resist a shot of him peeking sneakily up out of a book, below.

Bee sketch

Bee of Whimsy sketch by Amy Crook
This whimsical little bee is quite fashionable in his hat, scarf, gloves and boots. He’s out getting a bit of pollen for the hive, but just because he’s working doesn’t mean he can’t be dapper.

Potions Master

Potions Master sketch by Amy Crook
I did a pair of Snape sketches a few years back, and I found this one lurking on my hard drive when I went looking for pieces to round out the week. They were sent off to friends who hopefully still appreciate them, and I’ve always liked this one a bit better of the two (ssh, don’t tell). I’d originally bought this paper hoping to do the trick with black & white Conte pencils, but the paper itself was too pale for the white to work will. Still, it’s come in handy for other pieces like this one — one thing I’ve learned over the years is that art supplies will always be useful someday!
