Mark from 4-30

Here's a mark from a week back, that I finally added some color to. When I was a kid, the local department store had a costumed walking, talking Christmas tree-- she's kind of the post-punk version of that.

Mark 5-1-09

This is my interpretation of today's Mark...

Here's my version! -joanna

Not the mark, but another lady

This wasn't the Mark, but I cleaned up a drawing I did last week at Daphnes...

Shiny Jacket & Shoes

The girl with the shiny jacket and shoes was pacing around.  Maybe it had something to do with the disturbing texts she was getting.  

Go Speed Eater!!

This guy was wearing this great NASCAR paraphernalia and he was wolfing down his food. Seemed appropriate to me. If you drive fast, you're probably gonna eat fast too.

Mark 02-20-09

I hafta say, this is not a strong image. I basically remembered her pose and her hat. Everything else is hazy. But since I made a point of telling everyone in sketchclub to please post their version of the mark, I can't duck out. I wanted to post my sketch because I'm more pleased with it, than the piece I ended up with.

Why is the sketch better than the finished piece?

Mark for 02-13-09

I'm trying to take a lesson from my good friend Jed Henry. I love that guy's style, I have so much to learn from him. There was a downpour in LA today. At least her hair was kept dry. Happy Friday the 13th!!!

Big Pizza Guy

This is what I got.

Big Pizza Guy

This past Friday we had a packed Sketchclub session. We were trying to figure out what this guy was hauling. It looked like pizza boxes, but they were a little too tall.

It also looked like what ever he was hauling was very fattening, and he had been dipping into the till.

We had several nubies join us, one of them being Jeremy Steiner with this three part sketch as he worked out the pose.

We also had Peter Chan join us.

Along with John Bevelheimer.

Mark for 01-30-09

She was hiding something. I wasn't able to follow her long enough to find out what it was, but maybe I'll find out on the 10 o'clock news...

HAIR, THIGHS

She was all hair and thighs! So, the choice was obvious.

--Marcelo

Mark 01.16.09

It was pretty clear who was going to be the Mark today. Man that hair was incredible! This image is hardly an exaggeration.

Mushroom Head Too . . .Groovin'

Mushroom Head

Seems like I'm drawing a lot of thin people lately. This kid was in his pack of three skaters and though he probably wasn't this content, it looked like he'd found "his place".

-- Sketchclub Intern

SUPER BAD

I caught this kid as he was passing by. It looked like he was ready to take on the world.

Glenn Harmon Posts!

Ladies and gentlemen, Sketchclub's newest member has drawn his mark of the week! Take a gander at this.

You know it's Winter in LA when...

You know it's Winter in LA when you see people put sweaters on their dogs.

That was one little happy pup.

Incredible, what a group we had at Sketchclub this past Friday. After a round of bonhomie and cheer, it was off the find a "mark" we could all agree on.

When the management spotted the "mark," there was no debating! After these sketches, you'll see why.

This is Joey Mason's take on the mark. Would you believe it, the little dog had a little blue vest!


And here we have Mark McDonnell's version of the same lady.

Joey Mason Posts!

Greetings fellow Sketchclubbers -- and the curious.

We've got a post from the unbelievably talented comic book artist, illustrator and animation artist Joey Mason!

He joined Sketchclub a while back, but this is his first participation in drawing the "mark."

--The Sketchclub management

skating dude

We only had a quick glance at this guy as he was zipping by.

Noelle

Skateboarder

We had only a few seconds for this one as he whizzed on past. But, I think I got 'em!

--Marcelo

Charlie Brown?

Here's my take!

Happy Halloween!

Ah, what a day at Sketchclub. We had Andy Gaskil, Noelle Triaureau, Omar Smith, Lia Abate, Marcelo Vignali, and our newest member, Glenn Harmon join us on Friday.

Glenn Harmon joined Sketchclub around the same time he joined Sony Pictures Animation. Hmm, I think it's a coincidence, but others will probably think one had something to do with the other.

Glenn is a very talented and motivated young man, we're glad to have him fill our ranks! Here's his take on the "mark."

The "mark" was easy to spot for the Sketchclub crew, and I think he knew he was getting stared at by the smug look on his face.

P.Shardlow Does It Again!

Paul really nailed this dapper fellow, but you're going to have to take our word for it because no one else managed to draw him.

Good job Paul.

happy Easter

This year Easter is almost as early as it can be.

Noelle

Lil' Ol Lady

What's up with the style change? When we spotted her, I thought she looked like one of those little old ladies from the funny papers, so I drew her as though she were a panel in a Sunday comic.

--Marcelo

The Great Paul Shardlow

The Great Paul Shardlow joined us again at Sketchclub. His sketchbook sketches were hilarious, hopefully he'll post a few on his blog.

For those of you that would like to put a face with the name, Paul looks like a really good-looking version of Peter Fonda...with a British accent!

--The Sketchclub Management

Construction Near Daphnes

I think he spotted us, and wanted to run us over with his bulldozer!

--Marcelo

mellow

His substantially baggy pants turned his gait into a waddling glide.

Introducing Paul Shardlow

Today, at Sketchclub, we had a very special guest -- the world famous Paul Shardlow.

Paul has joined us on several occasions, but this was the first time he also joined in on the "mark."

Our good friend has just started a blog, so please welcome Paul by stopping by his blog and saying hello.

--The Sketchclub Management

Going to the Movies!

Talk about a kid with a purpose, he was making a B-line for the theater. Hmm, I didn't have the heart to tell him that Surf's Up isn't playing anymore.

The Sketchclub management spotted him crossing the street and "marked" him. I think the dreads did it.

--Marcelo

hairdo

He reminds me of a French guy I know.

Noelle

strolling

We saw this mark on our way back from the beach.

Windy Day in the Marina

Oof! How could we miss this guy!

Having said that, he almost got run over by a car coming out of a driveway! Good choice of clothing for the day. It got me thinking how his life could have changed, simply by the clothes he picked in the morning.

That does it, I'm going to wear that bearskin hat I got on Ebay ;¬)

--Marcelo

patience

Unlike most other marks, we picked this one while we were still at Daphnes. He was patiently waiting in line which gave us plenty of time to observe him.

Noelle

MR. MIYAGI...EATS AT DAPHNES?

Here's this week's mark. He looked like a little Mr. Miyagi, from Karate Kid.

Mr. Miyagi was patiently standing there, waiting in line, when I snapped my mental picture of him.

--Marcelo

The Tie Guy

Hey, I'm back, with another Sketchclub "mark."

Hmm, I wonder why the Sketchclub management picked this guy?

--Marcelo

Anticipating the next move...

The Latest Victim

Here's one of a kid that thought we were admiring his skating prowess.

Introducing JED HENRY

Ladies and Gentlemen, Sketchclub has the distinct honor of having it's very first intern! OK, Jed is actually Sony Animation's first intern, and he's been joining the Sketchclub crew on Friday's as they head off to do some "clubbing."

Look at this beautiful sketch! And, the rest of the Sketchclub crew slacked off and didn't join him in on the fun.

Good job Jed.

--The Sketchclub Management

no trippin'

With really oversized clothes, it was impressive that this guy managed to walk without tripping.

Noelle

Big Nasty Dude

This is a weird fashion statement that I have not gotten used to in the 20 or so years that it has become popular. It's sort of like taking the Charlie Chaplin baggy trousers and oversized shirt, and trying to look cool wearing it.

Believe it or not, this little gangsta was a full grown man (early 20s) -- but at a distance he had the proportions of a ten year old boy in his big brother's hand-me-downs. In the end, with his hat cocked to the side, his fashion statement made him look like Spanky, from the Little Rascals.

Speeding under a summer sky

So that was it, another cool sketchclub session is over and now we have to pickaWOOAHOHOHO!! wait a second!, here he comes, this -is-it!
We all agreed the moment we saw him walking really fast, trying to get somewhere!
Marcos.
