Finished. The first one is a quick sketch to figure out the construction, second tried to figure out the perspective and third is a blue pencil sketch. The perspective fish eyes a bit but I continued anyway. Rendering using the author's technique really showed me an alternative method to getting crisp lines.

Assignment 4
This is Sketch-A-Day. Yes, he actually looks like this in real life. His body is made of ink and he is a robot. It is for that reason that he is a great sketcher and it is for that reason that I plan on stealing him for my own purposes this week.Jumping right into it, this week's assignment is to emulate the works and styling of Sketch-A-Day.
Take note of:
-Array of sketching ability
-Use of Marker
-Page Compositions
-Suggestive Details Used
Sketch-A-Day offers an archival of raw but effective sketches. This week's assignment, copy 5 pages of colored Sketch-A-Day's works. Specifically choose images that have been hit with marker in order to understand both use of color and suggestive rendering style.
Theme: Emulate Sketch-A-Day
Objective: Redraw 5 pages of pages of your choice that have been touched with color
Images found in archival via http://www.sketch-a-day.com/
Render: Copy Sketch-A-Day's method of rendering
Level of Sketch: Level demonstrated by Sketch-A-Day
Due:Saturday
**Be sure to look closely for construction lines. Breakdown the steps the artist took to construct the sketch before jumping in to drawing the image."
