Now for something different

Alright guys. Thanks to everyone who's helped with getting back on board with my blog. I'm surprised anyone's still looking at this page considering how flaky I have been. Now I am aiming for consistency! These drawings are warm-ups for a new assignment I have at work. My drawings otherwise have up to this point suggested that I mostly do really pushed, graphic, and somewhat "flat" characters. But for this particular project, I'm required to do something a little more realistic, without sacrificing expressiveness. These are a couple of exercise drawings I did to get back in this mindset - they are drawn from a reference book full of old world etchings.
