Some more sketches from the academy. Great times here, my mind is being blown every day!
Here are some sketches, one for fun, some gestures for a final piece (with James Jean copies in there), and the early sketch for the painting below.
I had a great time in NY! I went for a Society of Illustrators function. After reviewing my work and other terrific student illustrators I was awarded the 2008 Zankel Scholarship from a panel of illustrators and AD's. I feel very lucky since the other artists (Sam, Cassandra, and David) are extremely talented. There should be an official announcement on the Society website soon.
take care,

really great sketches through out your blog!!
nice!
Hi Francis, Terrific your work! I like it very much, congratulations!
loving these gestures. i'm curious what type of pencil is being used?
Seajay: Thanks. I'm using an orange color-erase pencil to block in the basic flow/gesture and go in with a 3b and a 8b graphite pencil to finish them off. These are more loose, but I bring some drawings to finish this way also.
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Wow, your work is really impressive. I find it both fresh and familiar.
Wow, Francis! Your work is wonderful. Tank`s for your comment in aqualelis.
I really like the piece below with the little monsters in the laundremat playing instruments.
Really beautiful work all around!!
Who ever posed for those hitman drawings is one handsome son of a gun!
Great work as always!
You have great blog Francis!:o)
