Redefining "COOL"

Look at this mug! No wonder he was selected as the mark for this week. We could all see his pearly white teeth a block away as he whizzed by on his skateboard. He was redefining "cool" with his brand of fashion.

Long Time Watcher, First Time Poster

Hey there here's my take on a mark from the previous week.
For what it's worth, I only caught a passing glance as i turned around and saw him pass by.

My impression ;)

My first post.

Had the pleasure of joining some amazingly talented artists for the second week in a row :)  I'm looking forward to the next session!  

Another First Timer

Hello.

I was lucky enough to join the group last week, I had a lot of fun, as well as lunch!

Very excited to be apart of an amazing bunch.

Here is my quick sketch of our mark from last week, better late than never right?

Kendra I'll miss you!

My very first posting!

I'm a newbie here.

Still trying to figure out how things work. 

And this happens to be my very first posting. 

I haven't been coloring since college so please excuse my choices. 

Hope I get better.

Sketchclub update...

Here's the mark for this week. I'm certain the hair was darker, but my lay-in color looked so nice, I decided to keep it.

This week, Mark McDonnell showed up to draw with us at Sketchclub -- hadn't seen him in a little while. Gosh, his sketchbook looked so good, I'm sure we'll be seeing yet another book from him. Really funny drawings, he had me in stitches!

And... new comer Natalie Hall joined our club for the first time. Wow, this girl can draw.

And, it looks like the very talented Kendra Melton is going to be working a gig in New York for a stint. Hopefully we'll be seeing lots of New York drawings on her blog.

Appropriate Footwear

Alright, here's my take. It's the guy all the way on the left in his slippers and athletic wear.

Introducing TODD HAMPSON!

Todd Hampson

Todd Hampson, from Timbuktoons, was our special guest at Sketchclub. He, and his good friend Shawn, came in all the way from Georgia. And, as is the ritual, he sketched out the mark strictly from memory.

Sweet, little old lady

I have some spare time at the moment, so I sculpted, painted and rendered the mark.  Marcelo gave me a "Oh that's disgusting", so I guess it's a thumbs up.

the mark from 2 weeks ago...

Better late then never right?

The Bygone Era

We immediately zeroed in on this kid, he just stood out like a shining beacon from a bygone era -- a forgotten time when kids were wholesome and innocent. It's like he stepped off the set of Leave it to Beaver -- before Eddie Haskell moved to the neighborhood.

No nose ring, tattoos or piercings, no skull T-shirt, studded belt or ripped up jeans. I'll bet if I picked him up by his ankles and gave him a shake, bubble gum, baseball cards and his mom's grocery list would fall out of his pockets.

The Miracle-Mile-Marksmen have a SKETCHCLUB

And so the Sketchclub franchise continues to grow! Phil Allora, John Banh and Josh Lange have stared up their own Sketchclub franchise, right in the heart of Los Angeles on Wilshire Blvd! Go and visit with them, they have some very fun drawings.

Dude Never Had a Chance

Poor guy, thought he was just going to have a nice lunch at a newly renovated restaurant, little did he know he would become cannon fodder for all the hungry sketch clubbers :]

Captive character

Man, visiting the ol' gang was good for my soul.  Great artists and even better people!  Like Moe said this guy had it coming.  We all decided it would be a good thing to post our versions of this guys.  Here's my version.

Gorillaz-Looking Guy

Glenn Harmon summed it up best, "This poor guy never stood a chance."

What, Glenn Harmon at the Culver City Sketch Club? I thought he moved onto the big-leagues and went up to Dreamworks? YES! The award winning story artist/director Glenn Harmon came to hang out with the Sketch Club gang. What a wonderful surprise.

Not the mark, but...

...one of us had to post something, so here it is. She walked by yesterday, I don't know if anyone else spotted her. It wasn't in the clothing, but all in the 'tude.

This Weeks Featured Fashionistas!

I am back as in intern this summer and super thrilled to be back at Sketchclub!

Mr. Anchor/sun hat/hipster glasses/army pants man is mark from this week 6/24/11 ...



When I finished the Mark, I couldn't help myself I had to draw Patterns Chick as well. We saw her before we picked the mark and she was just fantastic! I am not sure what look she was going for, but there was a lot going on ON her.
