As much thought went into this as... something.

Drawing for the sake of fun, rather than to fill empty obligations.
Pose taken from an Alex Ross Superman cover. I was gonna do the full cape, but I thought that a kid's Halloween cape would be better. So the Alex Ross visual reference is lost.

SBI8: Amateur Night of the Daleks (showing off some of my hand-quakes)
I get the feeling like someone may have done this kind of thing before, but I'm not sure.

Sketchbook Introspection: Part I (contains nudity)
That box is WAY too big for covering that area.
I work most when I am alone. I prefer it.

Drawing in the Dark: Some Design Class Selections
Sketches for the initials exercise.
Used my initials to make a unique design that uses type and ground-form reversal.
Five words that I think apply to me, specifically. This is my highest grade.
Design a pattern in a square and have it repeated. The scan looks bad, because of the size of the project.

Drawing in the Dark: Some Class Notes and Off Time (I originally had these images in order by when I stopped working on each, and the WordPress interface was like, “Fuck you, asshole.” So fuck you, back, buddy, you son of a bitch. I ought to cut your dick off with your teeth glued to a fucking knife.)
English Notes (hypothetical and literal subjects)
I Think His Name was Anthony (sketching while in conversation to make meeting new people more comfortable)

Brrrrrrrrrrrrthday Clown
Why did I put candles in its oversized brain?
Of all the ideas I goofed around with, this was my favorite.

More Sketchbook Entries (with stuff for friends, practice heads, and highbrow comedy)
Smith Sensei: referenced a photograph, she looked really fucking tired, I need to practice proportions at angles, I can tell...
First thing I did this morning, after reading a wonderful message from a friend. It doesn't look like this character is likely to go far, but for now, he's very fun to doodle.
It's a trap.
Master of a secret martial art, known only to him, alone, and his dead teacher. Clue: he killed his teacher using that technique, and nobody's seen it and lived to explain what the fuck it is. Hint: it's a gun, and he pulls the bullets out of the corpses. Spoiler: that's a lie he uses to cleverly hide the truth of his secret, deadly technique. Question: am I making all of this up? Answer: yes.
I found them in my bathroom.
Kamina, with pencil marks that can't be erased.
Heads.
I have an image in my head of the hamster thrusting himself humorously onto everything, and his ill-proportioned penis wobbling around behind him instead of where he's thrusting. Because his penis is too big! Don't you think that's hilarious?
Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner make their guest appearance.
You can sometimes cover anatomy fuck-ups by turning characters into monsters. Nobody'll notice!

A picture of Thompson I’ll never finish…
From one of the few good photographs found on the internet.
Playing with Faces: Last Summer and This
Pay no attention to the diagram you don't understand.
Some practice on youth.
Trying to find my place in crosshatch. The broad strokes are easy, representative, and NOT vague.
The lines are too broad. They ruin the delicate features of the subject.

I still need to take on regular practice.
I'm not worried about over-simplifying the shades and shapes of the model's hair, which I should try to work on in the future, but I am worried about whether I nailed the proportions. I found myself redrawing the same lines and circles in different places fifteen times before ignoring them all to get this product. I'm also, apparently, not confident enough to take on cloth, which may look pretty cool in my experimentation with angles and lines. Whatever.

Steampunk Batman
I started sketching some ideas after reading this:
http://bakanekonei.deviantart.com/journal/19811916/
I don’t really intend on entering, but it sounded fun.
I really love a Cold War rendition of Batman I found somewhere,
and something about Batman + Aviator = super geekout mode… in my head, at least.
Combined the absolutely beautiful shape of a WWII German helmet,
the mysteriously enchanting gasmask and Victorian-Age aviation getup.
I also have a childish tendency to draw stupid looking knives.
If I were more confident in my skill, I’d attempt a full-on character design.
Not much of a self esteem thing, just a face-the-facts scenerio.
The time spent on a design I won’t approve of after hours of tedious research and pencil scratching could be put to better use.
