To be honest, I am not a big sports fan. I enjoy sports but I am not a 'fan' of any particular type of sport or club. Some people are mad about sports and sport is a religion to them.
One of the biggest sports here in the UK is Football. The above image is a poor sketch by yours truly, I need to practice more on that!
Sport is great to draw though. One of my most favorite illustrators who is a master at drawing sports is Jack Davies. Jack is an American illustrator who has drawn for MAD magazine since the dawn of time. His work is simply the best and has inspired many artists in this field.
Here is a link to a site that has some info on Jack Davies - click here
Jack's work has a pure quality to it that explodes out of the page, you just cannot ignore the beauty and skill of his work.
I always love to browse through Jack's work and look to learn how he drawn the body in motion. His amazing talent to maintain proportions in his drawing while adding some extent of exaggeration is awesome. He is a master.
Jack as far as I know, also loves to play golf and even today you can find him swinging away on his local golf course!
My thanks go to Jack for sharing his talent and skills with us all, more power to his elbow and may he continue to show us all how to really draw!

Thank you Kitty for your kind words! I do need to refine the sketch a bit more, I'm always wanting to improve constantly as an artist.
