Here are a couple sketches that were done for the current animation spots I'm working on (these specifically will not be used). They are for commercials to be aired in the UK, containing a celebrity and an original character or two.
The clients on this project are quite wonderful. They write a script loosely around a celebrity that they begin to woo, and if they get an agreement, they finalize it and we start. To keep it enticing, they've begun showing sketches to with whom they are negotiating, in efforts to both get a head start and better sell the idea. These are not the final designs, but a jumping-off point for critique. I've also learned to not get too polished or invested in any of these, because the clients and agency both hold different priorities at times. I've learned that it must be a malleable process, and would not be successful if it were not.
I was asked to do a few sketches of Kylie Minogue (digitally for speed) that were fairly rendered, and I had only a few hours. I'll share more details on this project when I can.

hey Joe,
thanks for sharing your experience in the biz! its very insightful and generous of you to share your knowledge. thanks for the inspiration your stuff is always great!
I love to see your stuff. It totally amazes me how fast you are. I'm halfway through a sketch that I'm happy with (personal best) and it's so far taken the better part of two hours. Keep it up bro. I learn so much just studying your sketches.
amazing....like your habit....so young and so talented.....i talk about you, not Kylie..;p)
Your portraits of Kylie are really good, fantastic. Good luck in your work. Greetings and admiration from Spain.
Those are great. Love the looseness of them and via digital no less. Good shtuff.
