Sketchbook

I wanted to share with you that my latest book "Stephen Silver's Sketchbook volume 2" is coming out next month. Within the pages are notes that I wrote to myself during the process, they became a constant reminder to me of what it is I needed to think about as I developed my skills. It is spiral bound to make it look like a sketchbook. If you would like to PREORDER you will receive FREE shipping anywhere in the U.S http://www.silvertoons.com/store.html

I hope everyones having a great start to the new year, and keepin up the drawing. I've nabbed myself a job designing characters - so much fun! All the same, I still do my own thing: as Stephen suggested, usually in the mornings or after lunch, to loosen up I do some memory sketches. I can only wish this was a memory sketch... Its freezing here! I just doodled this to pretend I was somewhere warm for ten minutes :) Hope you Enjoy...
