slow hand ~ Andrew Ken's sketchbook

[aks9]

So I moved to Edinburgh. If any of you live here, lets meet up and paint!!!
I keep saying I will update this thing more frequently, urgh. I don't have a scanner anymore, and in the past 3 months Ive been focusing so much on these 4 large pieces that I don't want to show anything but snippets of, so I've been neglecting sketching and studying.

Since getting here I've been getting back into that, but its not really worth photographing. But heres some bits and bobs I've been accumulating recently.


Firstly, I finished this thing! Could use some work in certain parts of the body and background but don't have more time to put into this







Comps!



Some more colour comps



And some line landscape comps




Figure study



Char Silhouettes




Char Ideas




And a sketchy thing I worked on for some time and has been abandoned... need to focus on doing values and all that before getting into details, or I will die before ever finishing more artwork






Next post some wip detail shots on some of the personal work I've been doing...
