I used to draw...

[Matt Nelson @inkutah]

Didn’t want to create something new, a bit of creative block tonight. I decided to ink over an old sketch. I used to to this a ton. I like how this turned out so maybe I should do more. #Bedtimesketch #bluepencil #brushpen #moleskine #sketchbook

Just some heads before bed. #Bedtimesketch #blackwing602 #moleskine #sketchbook

A witch in a magical straight jacket. I think the halo thing is also some kind of magical restraint. #Bedtimesketch #bluepencil #redpencil #blackwing602 #moleskine #pencilsketch

Just drawing tonight. No story in my head and nothing to get me started. Dumb, but the rock is my favorite part. #Bedtimesketch #sketchbook #moleskine #bluepencil #redpencil

My son has to do a report on Zeus for school, so naturally I get to illustrate the cover. Quick #bedtimesketch with my #bluepencil #redpencil combo. Just a quick concept, we’ll refine it tomorrow before inking.

I used to use the #kirbydot, sometimes called #kirbykrackle, quite frequently in backgrounds. It’s been a long time since I took advantage of it. I tried two versions here. The left with the closely spaced large dots. On the right, small dots with more white space.

I got lost part way into this. Dude should have been holding a knife, maybe a sword, but then I thought “maybe he was stabbed or shot with a huge arrow” but the the hands didn’t look right. So I called it a night and gave up. #Bedtimesketch #bluepencil #moleskine sketchbook.

Just a bunch of heads. No theme or connection for one to the next. #Bedtimesketch #blackwing602 #moleskin sketchbook #bluepencil

Path watcher. Wrote a bit with this one. Back to just the #bluepencil in the good old #moleskine sketchbook. #bedtimesketch

[Matt Nelson @inkutah]

Dragon bird? Scary emu maybe? I don’t often add color so you people have been spoiled with back to back color postings. Pencil, brush pen, water color, molskine sketchbook. #Bedtimesketch

[Matt Nelson @inkutah]

Some leprechaun concepts before bed. Various mediums in a #molskine sketchbook. #bedtimesketch #leprechaun

Sometimes my kids will give me random prompts when I sit down to draw. This is one of those times. #Bedtimesketch #moleskine #bluepencil

[Matt Nelson @inkutah]

Started with a bunch of faces. Quick, only a few seconds each. I think I overworked the concept since I liked it much more about half way between starting and finishing. Oh well, that’s why I draw. To learn and get better. #bedtimesketch #moleskine #bluepencil

Prepping a #fossilfish instead of drawing tonight. We dug this little guy out of the ground in Wyoming last summer.

Who doesn’t love a good “chicken in a robot suite” sketch? I know I do. That said, I should have stopped sooner. I feel like this got over worked. #bedtimesketch #pencilsketch Colored pencil, #moleskine sketchbook

[Matt Nelson @inkutah]

Started out as something else but ended up as a kind of underwater scene. #bedtimesketch #pencilsketch Blue pencil, #moleskine sketchbook

[Matt Nelson @inkutah]

I’m getting a St. George kinda vibe even though I wasn’t going for that. #bedtimesketch

[Matt Nelson @inkutah]

I was sketching while making pork stock (for soup tomorrow). #pencilsketch Vermilion pencil, #Moleskine sketchbook.

PSA for 2021: Never trust a smiling robot, and don’t do drugs. Oh, one more: the answer is never aliens... until it’s aliens. Hope everyone has a great new year. #psa #pencilsketch #bedtimesketch
