5 minute sketch project…day 5

Ray Hernandez — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 04:30:14 +0000

I keep forgetting about the project until pretty late in the day and today was no different. It’s 11:24pm, so I barely made the deadline. But without any adu, here is the sketch 5. Without an idea a portrait just comes out. So here’s another portrait.

I am thinking about how to get a ninja out of this, but thats a lot of black in 5 minutes :)

I have to say though, I do feel like I’m getting a little better with every one. Not with the sketch exactly, but just with the process of putting pen to paper and the ideas I have in my head. Seems like this project is working.

Sketch Project…day 4

When I was in middle school and some of highschool I had these dreams of being a video game designer or a cartoon artist. So I’d always come up with random characters, monsters, weird people things. Well I thought I’d kick it old school today and play with some monsters. I can’t tell if he’s mean and angry or scared and about to cry.

Day 3 of the Sketch Project…

Ray Hernandez — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 07:08:33 +0000

…and I’m a little late. It’s pretty sad…it’s only day 3 and I’m already late. I have a good excuse though, I was busy all day with work, and then I went to see the dark knight…which was AMAZING! Anyway…here is sketch 3…which is kinda a self portrait of myself. I’m gonna have to do another one of these in a few hours. I’ll try not to be late this time.

Anyway…here it is…let me know what you think. I’m gonna take Miller’s idea and video one of these and put it up. But that’s gonna have to wait til Doan gets back from florida…cause my camera doesn’t do video. Until then…late.

Sketch Project…Day 2

I don’t know if you guys ever knew, but I’ve always called myself a portrait painter. I’ve always drawn faces…and I even spent my entire senior portfolio drawing nothing buy eyes. There is just something about a faces and eyes…you can tell what kind of mood someone’s in just by looking at their face. And that’s what I love. It’s so expressive.

With that said here is sketch 2 of the 5 minute sketch project. I might mix it up and do something other than a portrait, but then again…it’s what I love…so I might not.

Let me know what you think.

A new project…sketch

Ray Hernandez — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:58:36 +0000

So I’ve been an artist pretty much my whole life. Drawing, painting, sketching, ruining, breaking you name it. I was doing it. But over the last 3 or 4 years my artist side of my life has really faded into the distance. I don’t want to lose my chops so I’ve decided to create a project for myself.

The project is called SKETCH. The plan is I’m going to sketch “something” for 5 minutes everyday for 30 days. And from there I’m going to take a photo of the sketch, upload it, and then combine them all into a photobook. I’m doing this for a couple of reasons. 1…I’m a big believer of use it or lose it. And I feel like I might be losing some of it. So I want to get a little crisper as an artist. 2…I just want to feel creative again.Â Doing corporate work day in and day out can really get to me. And doing this…even for 5 minutes…makes me feel creative again. Who knows…maybe it’ll make my corporate work even better.

So above is the first sketch from the project…next to my phone counting down the time. And below is a little closer view. Let me know what you think of the idea, and be sure to check back daily for my updates.

Wish me luck.
