More drawings, all these by Murray Tinkelman...not sketches per se, like those in the last master drawings post, but still, drawings. Without the distractions of color or extra dimensionality, a good drawing has an essential quality unmatched in any other medium.
"Drawing is the honesty of art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad." - Salvador Dali
The two illustrations above are from Tinkelman's Lovecraft covers, done for Ballantine in the '70s. Here's a good article on Today's Inspiration, based on an interview with Tinkelman.
The rest of these are from Tinkelman's 1970 Bestiary; here's the 50 Watts article in which I found the majority of the images.
