just a simple character I made up to practice shading

Tim Russert Sketch
I'm sure everybody knows by now that Tim Russert died Friday of a heart attack. I did the portrait sketch with a #2 pencil on ordinary typing paper and added the background later.

Obama Sketch From 'Untelevised' Series
This is the latest installment of Untelevised that went live this morning. I did it last night while I was listening to him give his victory speech after passing the delegate mark to become the Democratic Nominee for President!
It's probably one of the best sketch portraits I've ever done, so the fact that it only took a few hours to go from a blank piece of paper to this finished strip is pretty damn good for me. It's a good sign that my art skills are improving.
I probably won't be doing any sketches like this for a while, but it was fun to do and hopefully I'll get a chance to do some more. For now I'm sticking to caricatures and stick figure politicians.
