Complete Sketchbook: Conversations and Interactions

First Christmas deadline is over, with two more coming up quickly before we break up. It is a shame this project ended first, because it was the most enjoyable to date. For those unaware, the project was to draw instances of character brought out through conversation or interaction. The goal set was about 50 drawings (or at least 1 a day). My personal goal was to fill a sketchbook, which resulted in 32 pages of sketches.

It was up to us to choose reference material, whether it be from life or photos/magazines/internet/stills from films. The majority of my reference material was photographs. I searched on Flickr a lot, simply because it is a gold mine for excellent photography. I have credited a few people at the end of this post for their work that I have used as reference.

Big thanks to the talented photographers above. There are possibly more, whom I have not credited. If you believe I have used one of your photos, let me know which one and I will add you to the list!

Thanks again.
