I've had a long-term enormous admiration for Charles van Sandwyk's lovely, quirky work. In between inking on my current 'real' project, I've been doing a bit of master-copying of some of his charming paintings.
- also known as Master Copies.... I am a big admirer of Justin Gerard's work (so much so in fact, that I am importing him to teach a Professional Series workshop in March. More on that anon -)
I love the WIP's he posts on his blog. His post on warthogs is full of such beautiful drawings...
I also purchased one of his sketchbooks this year -which is the best he's produced by far thus far. (Trying to push my copies a little closer to what I'd draw here)... Anyway - fun to do!
