The Sketch Club

Well, let's start this off right with one of my favorite blogs: The Sketch Club

The Sketch Club is a group of artists that picks at lunch a 'mark,' a person of interest, to draw. What makes this so interesting is they won't draw the mark until they come back from lunch. The reason why I like this blog so much is because you get to see a variety of styles. Even though the artists are drawing the same person, each will have a different focus and take on the person.

Those that are new to sketching should notice how the artists play with the characteristics of the person. They don't try to make the sketch look exactly like the person, but find the essence of them and make it visually appealing.

My favorite artist on this blog is Marcelo Vignali. I like how he changes his style up but still make his sketches amazing. His characters flow well and have a variety in line. For all those that are searching for some inspiration should look at his work. All of us can learn from him.
