Superman

"Look!  Up in the air!  It's a bird! It's a plane!"....It's Lois and Clark!  For the 14th & 15th drawings,  I selected two actors from the infant stages of television. George Reeves and Noel Neill worked wonderfully well together and really made the young viewers of the day, believe that a man could fly!
Much to the chagrin of some parents, I'm sure!  I know I enjoyed watching the show on DVD, but don't worry honey, I won't be jumping off our garage in any attempts to fly!  But, wait,...where are the kids?!  Well I hope you enjoy this sketch...I'm off to go look for my kids.

Gilligan's Island

"Now this is a tale of our castaways..."  Come along now,  everybody sing!  Come on, I know you know the words?!  Yes that's right, I couldn't help but hum the theme song to Gilligan's Island while I worked on this one.  Sorry, if I've got the song stuck in your head now?!
This is the 12th and 13th drawings in my sketchbook for those of you keeping track.
If you're looking for a hobby that will help you develop your drawing abilities, then I strongly recommend you check out the "Sketchbook Project".  I can definitely see how it's aided me in my art.  So check it out..."Okay, lil' buddy?!"

Rocketeer

Continuing on in my sketchbook, I chose two characters from another movie I enjoyed.
The rocketeer was a fun adventure movie that was set in the 30's.  It's been enjoyable using solely the pen for this drawing.  I think the sketchbook project has increased my freeness in the execution of my art.  Now I see why my wife has been after me for so long, to start a sketchbook. I'm just sorry I didn't follow her advice sooner!
Well, I hope you like this sketch?!

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Thar' Be Ink Matey's

I finally let go of the pencil crayon for pages eight and nine of my sketchbook!

The movie these actors were from has always been a favourite of mine since I was young.

Kirk Douglas and James Mason were a lot of fun to draw!

Robert Redford and Paul Newman, The Sting!

 Robert Redford and Paul Newman grace page six and seven

of my sketchbook.

I attempted to use only my pen for this one, but in the end I cheated and 

decided to use some marker also.

Okay, you caught me...I also used some pencil crayon 

on the background too!

Oh well, I suppose, theres always page eight and nine!

Sean Connery and Kevin Costner, The Untouchables!

Sean Connery and Kevin Costner were my choice for page four and five of my Sketchbook.

Again the sepia tone is carried forward.

I enjoyed the art for this page but I think for my next two pages 

I'm going to focus more 

on using the pen for contrast instead of pencil crayon.

Sherlock Holmes And Watson Drawing

Elementary, Dear SketchBook!

This is page two and three of my sketchbook project.
Sherlock Holmes and Watson from the movie due in December.
I was trying to maintain the sepia tone for this and do it in a "children's book" illustrative sort of way.
I really enjoyed drawing the clothes in this one.  You have to like the top hat!
Please keep in mind that it is just supposed to be quick sketch....I could capture the actors likenesses better with more time.
Hope you like it anyways?
