We worked on several things of a drawing nature at Session 1 of Drawing Lab at Artspot. Among them was the 'Surly' Seattle Seahawks logo. Here's a sequence of images of my own drawing. Fun stuff! Pardon the fuzzy ones.
Bounding Box proportions
Grid to help transfer image into a drawing
Blocking in the Main outer shape
Combining/Simplifying shapes and block those in
Continued shape blocking in and erasing here and there
More of the same including starting to get rid of original guides/grid
Cleaning things up and refining shapes
Adding some light/middle value everywhere that has 'color'
Didn't like the top of original outer form so adjusted
Begin darkening the darker areas. Also decided to make inner eye white so erased around that area.
Continued cleaning up and strengthening darker values
Finally busted out my darker pencil and increased overall contrast and added some background texture
