Rocko Portrait Drawing Progression

Hey There, happy new year. I am sharing a drawing progression I worked on last month. This was a really fun little buddy to draw, his name is Rocko! This year in my drawings I am really loving drawing animals and searching for shapes and structure relationships. I love the start of a drawing. I think the initial stages of a drawing reveal where the piece really began in the eyes and mind. To share clearly the initial stages of this drawing I’ve shared large images below.

This drawing was originally started with the intent to be painted over. However, the surface of this paper and the structural nature of the drawing inspired me to maintain it as a drawing. I hope you enjoy the images and have fun drawing.

Have a great one, and reach out if you’d like to chat about drawing or teaching.

cheers,

Laura
