I am continue to watch and sketch the Olympics and I am so in awe of these amazing athletes. I sometimes find myself just staring at the television as I watch the events. So many times the sketching stops and I have to finish the next day. All these sketches are combinations of the athletes doing the sports. I added features to try to make them look more like the individuals.
Shawn White—Halfpipe and Snowboard Cross. 
Lindsay Vonn in Downhill win.
Apollo Ohno in short track relay.I have started to do these on cheap watercolor paper that I have cut up in small (about 5X7) sizes. I am throwing so many away that using a journal just doesn't make sense.
What will I do when the Olympics are over...
Your technique on Shaun White's is absolutely perfect! Actually, everything about these sketches is perfect -- but Shaun's hair is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome, awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour Olympic sketches are wonderful! I really do get a sense of the athletic movement involved.
ReplyDeleteOh! These are just wonderful! I may try to do some sketching too. I was just saying to someone this morning that the Olympics are going to get me fired - I'm staying up every night to watch and not so quick out of bed in the morning.
