I almost didn’t make rehab today. But here’s what I churned out about an hour-and-a-half ago:

I didn’t get to draw this morning because I had to report to jury duty. Luckily, I don’t have to report back, which means my morning schedule can stay intact for now.

Most of the sketches above were done using some reference material I have stashed away in a pull file. I was looking for faces I could use as inspiration for the characters in my project. Everything was done with a penbrush (though today doesn’t qualify as an Inkspill because I didn’t get them posted within the hour). Other sketches were done off the top of my head to see if I could create something using what I learned from sketching from the references.

Out of the four pages of sketches, I didn’t scan one of them because, well, it’s just not as good as the other three. Excuse my vanity.

I think I decided on the look for the wife, and I know what hairstyle I want to use for the main character. His face still escapes me. I hope I can find it by Saturday.
