Koscielny Heading

Gonna be drawing some more football now! I had a lot of fun with this one. Action is the funnest thing to draw.

Mertesacker portrait sketch.

Pretty unhappy with how this came out. It looks good from a distance but again, not as much likeness as I wanted to achieve.

Koscielny Portrait Sketch

Had a lot of fun with this even if it doesn't look all that much like him.

Mertesacker Markers

Not super happy with this but whatever. It was good practice.

Koscielny Markers

just a practice to get back on track with my markers. Not terribly happy with this.

Vermaelen and Koscielny

Not really at all happy with how this came out. It was fun to do though.

Giroud

Besides some minor issues, I'm really happy with how this turned out! I spent awhile on this one and it felt good to get back to my roots of sketching football players. It definitely loosens me up and puts me in a good mood. I enhanced this a bit in photoshop. I've been learning how to use it a bit more and it's definitely starting to pay off.

Podolski

More photoshop sketching. It's helping me understand how I should ink a bit better. I'm enjoying it a lot! This one hurts a big because of the contrast but I think it suits Podolski in a way.

Arsenal Sketches: GIF

I decided as a fun little project to compile all of the sketches I did last summer into a quick gif. I am still learning how to use photoshop. I'll probably make the coloured cards into a gif as well.

Podolski and Schweinsteiger

I've tried countless times to draw Podolski but haven't been able to get it right until now. Anyway, sorry for the spam of football sketches. It's been nice to get back to practicing and sketching like I did last summer.

Mertesacker

I am getting really serious about drawing every day. It really brings up my mood, especially when it's something I feel confident and familiar in such as football players. Anyway, gotta love Per! Expect some more German football players coming your way.

Koscielny 6

Getting back into doing more drawing. I had fun with this one, even though I'm not terribly happy with how it came out. I never get sick of drawing Koscielny!

The Arsenal

I have to say, this is one of my favourite pieces that I have ever drawn. The composition is a lot different than what I usually do. It feels good to branch out. Some of the likeness is a little bit off on some of the players (mainly Walcott I think) and some other small details. I tried to colour it digitally but my computer crashed. I hope to finish it soon.

13

Somebody requested that I draw some more Szczesny, and I gotta admit... I had a lot of fun with this one. I sort of did a crap job editing it but I think the sketch is good enough. I also ran out of red so I had to use a sort of deeper red colour.

16

Obviously I've been having too much fun drawing these. I really enjoy the sketching style even though my markers are on average too small to get any face detail in so likeness is difficult. You gotta love Rambo!

4

Decided to do another one. This one doesn't have as much likeness, but I really like the movement. Watching Per Mertesacker run is amazing!

6

I've been doing a lot of straight marker sketches lately and I've been really enjoying it. I am decently happy with how this came out. the six looks a little odd in the background though. I think I might draw Koscielny too much haha.

Chambo

One of my favourite footballers. Usually I have trouble drawing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, but today I think it worked out pretty well. I'm finally pulling out of my sickness and will be updating daily again soon.

Bloody Arshavin

I've wanted to draw this picture of Arshavin's injury a couple of years ago. It's one of my favourite photographs. Anyway, I'm not very happy with how it came out. It needs much more work but I am still unsure of how to make things look finished on photoshop. Oh well.

Arsenal Cards

Once again, finally got around to compiling my hard summer work into one single image. I have learned a lot about skin tone through this project. I lost a lot of likeness in most of the cards and a lot of players from the sketches didn't end up to be cards because I was working on the project during the transfer season. My goal is to redo all of these eventually.
