Sketch of the Day – Pinup Girl Tutorial Fun
I was playing around with some tutorials today and worked on a tutorial to help create the classic 1950’s pin-up poster style.

Sketch of the Day – Lost in work…
It has been a while since I updated my sketch blog. Been swamped at work again and getting ready for the wedding. So weekend and time has been tight.

Sketch of the Day – I am still alive!!
I am still alive! I just loaded up Alex Likes to Draw and realized I have not posted anything for this month! Wow! I have been really busy with work and with this summer heat it has been hard to sit in the drawing room and think right. Well I am going to get back in gear so you will see some sketches and doodles again coming back to life. I have been doodling and sketching though.
