I often have my sketchbook open when I watch TV. In this case, I was watching some MTV program and this one guy with a big nose and slumpy posture caught my attention. Fountain pen and ink, moleskine sketchbook.
Nicely observed, you have really captured the essential character very well. The use of a fountain pen plays to your strengths...a loose but also controlled technique, that whole Paul Klee "taking a line for a walk" when you sketch. I cannot bring myself to work in moleskins, wonderful as they are, because it stays my hand too much... so more power to you for having the gumption :) PS. many thanks for your flattering comment on my blog. I love Mary Blair's work, so you cheered me up know end, thank you!
I studied filmmaking and animation, became an illustrator (published in a few books), and graphic designer. I am currently working as a financial services marketing professional. I have a deep yearning for artistic expression and particularly, improving my filmmaking, character design and drawing ability. Follow my @vdr tweets on Twitter! Check out my other blogs below.

Sketchbooks are treasures for illustrators, thanks for sharing yours :)
Hey - I think I know this guy! Looks just like him!
You captured his posture (or lack of it) so well. Very good drawing.
