sketch: tennis serve
June 30, 2018
It’s that time of year for Wimbledon! Tennis coverage begins at 7am EST Monday July 2 on ESPN.
My drawing is of a lady tennis player getting ready to serve an ace. Tennis is my favorite sport to sketch. Have you noticed?
Happy 4th of July, everybody!
tennis serve toss
January 15, 2015
This is my action drawing of a player in mid toss during a serve. Where’s the tennis ball you ask? It is thrown so high that it is out of the frame. The higher the toss, the faster the ball will hurl towards the opponent. All top players, like Sharapova, for example, strive to win free points by achieving a well-placed ace.

sketch: tennis serve
January 19, 2010
The Australian Open is on now which means hours of watching Tennis Channel and ESPN2. The Open will run two weeks. This is a sketch of the Croation, Cilic, serving. I always wanted to capture the motion of a serve. Cilic is a very tall slender player at 6 foot 6 inches. He is so tall that it looks like I’m exaggerating his extension.
