Something I’ve been doing lately is going back in and revisiting old sketches and trying to do more with them. Often times I’ll jot down a sketch really quickly just to get an idea across or get the look of someone and I rarely ever go back and add the color I wanted or refine the lines or just add something to make it a more completed idea or expression. So, here’s some sketches I’ve revisited recently. Unfortunately the last 2 in the group were so rough originally I didn’t bother to scan them a first time. Anyway, take a look. There’s also a new 4 lines project. If you haven’t checked it out yet, do so!
What a great idea! Revisiting your old sketches is not only a great way to review and reuse, but also to see how far your skills have come. 🙂

Sometimes when I lack for new inspiration, I fall back to doing this. One of my favorite activities, actually!
I like your idea of revisiting sketches. The color you’ve added really makes them pop.
These are nice and what a great idea to revisit sketches!
I like it! I am always afraid to go back and work on old sketches – I worry that I’ll screw them up. But I am sure I have lots that are rough enough to benefit from having something done to them.
Spent some time on your blog and find your work very interesting. Like the slide show format. Was a little taken aback by the ‘scary’ drawing though.
