Gotta go fart!

Have you seen the Dumb Running Sonic tumblr? It’s my new favorite meme. So favorite that I decided to make my own Dumb Sonic. My first ever animated gif!   I used a pretty neato iPad app called Animation Desk. It doesn’t automatically export animations to .gif format – that requires some minor tweaking in [...]

H.P. Sauce

My interpretation of Lovecraftian monsters based on what I know of Lovecraft: practically nothing.

And more still!

Drawing from life this time, which I don’t do often, but should.

More from the sketchbook

Just some stuff I doodled while waiting around, or sitting on the train, or something. It’s actually kind of hard to doodle on the train. Not sure when the dates are on these.

Practice!

I have been trying to establish doodling as a daily habit. Some of the things I’ve done in the last week or so: Babbys, and half a preschooler. A hipster couch. I still find inappropriately steampunked objects disproportionately amusing. I need to practice backgrounds. I hate drawing them, but I love seeing them well-done. I [...]

Semi Tough Ladyz 4ever

It’s probably not a great sign that after six months of blogging about drawing, my best stuff is still done in 10 seconds on the whiteboard. I appreciate the wonky trompe-l’oeil effect on this women’s Bad Boy shirt. “Appreciate” meaning “recognize,” not necessarily “like.” I’m working on a second blog with a different theme which [...]

The end of Skerple Friday

I’ve decided to discontinue Skerple Fridays. They’ve kept me posting when I’ve had nothing else, which has been a good thing. However, trying to draw something, scan it, and write a post about it in the half hour before work has proven to be a fairly tall order, and most weeks I’m just scratching something [...]

Revenge of the vengeance

Well, my Sketchbook Project sketchbook is done! Or, at least, I filled all the pages and actually mailed the thing in. I kept putting it off, and when I did work on it I didn’t put a whole ton into it. All my sketches were loose and penciled, and in many of them you can [...]

Skerple Friday: Skerping it in

I have really been phoning my Skerple Fridays in lately. It’s hard for me to do much in the morning that isn’t sleeping or drinking coffee. And Friday’s my busiest day at work so I’m already not inclined to be up and doing things. It doesn’t look good to have pages full of quarter-assed skerplings [...]

Skerple Friday: Loaded for bear

I couldn’t really think of anything to draw because I’d rather be in bed or something. Here’s a hastily-doodled bear. I know bears are not to be trifled with, but I like to imagine them as benign slow-moving creatures who just want to sniff at your trash. Why do you run away from bear, Cub [...]
