30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 13 : Comic

All credit for these characters go to James Hance, creator of Wookie the Chew and other hilarious mash-ups/parodies. When I saw his "Amy & Doc" t-shirt, I knew a comic Must Be Made. I'll be surprised if I'm the first.

Surely, you have someone in your life who would love some of his stuff for Xmas. Proceeds go to a good cause: helping cure his "Relentlessly Cheerful" daughter Maddy of a serious intestinal disorder.

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 5 : Best Friend

My wife, Stacey. Though drawing her knitting doesn't do her justice, so I went the superheroine route. My son designed her costume, and I went from there.

He dubbed her Super Super Stacey, though I would have preferred a knitting themed name, none of which came to me.

Swim Meet Sketches

Hanging at the final swim meet of the year, sketching parents and coaches.

Soccer & Pool

In this blog, I don't just post the nice stuff. There would only be a couple entries if I did that.

I have time while RocketBoy is playing soccer or swimming to do a bit of sketching.

Sketching at Callenwolde

When I take my son to his Young Singers practices at Callenwolde Fine Art Center, I get some time to sketch while he's practicing.

It's a big empty room, generally, with not much to sketch. So, gestures from the mind...

sketchy

Working on making a person seem like they're standing, balanced.

Sketch Dump and Yet Another Drawing Book

Here's a few random sketches from the sketchbook.


These little pillow/sack drawings were inspired by Han Drawn's blog, who is an extremely talented art student.



Sketches of kids at the Callenwolde Fine Art Center, and a couple legs drawn from scratch.
I picked up a really good anatomy book, "Human Anatomy Made Amazingly Easy" by C. Hart. I have several drawing anatomy books, but for some reason, this one really clicked. I actually read it cover to cover, which I don't think I've ever done. I think the best part is that I really started thinking about the skeletal structure and how that effects the outward appearance.

Trying to draw a cartoonized version of myself.

Some doodles

Mish mash

A mish-mash of sketches.



Scene from the webcomic, study.

Squiggle People

There's an exercise I heard of somewhere where you just scribble some random shapes, and then make something out of it. These are my squiggle people... I close my eyes, scribble, then make sense of it. I'm finding it surprisingly enjoyable.






I was following a youtube video on how to draw Manga eyes, and 4 year old scout wanted to help me with the picture. So I did the eyes, nose, mouth, and she did the head and "body".

Watching swim lessons at the Y.

Mark Crilley

Mark Crilley, the artist behind the Miki Falls graphic novel, has some youtube how to videos. I watched a few of them and followed along.

Guy Sketch

Based on a guy I know. But not him.

Epic jumping

Girl jumping from a shoe advertisement...

Georgeous Ladies of Georgia Shakespeare

Still trying to capture that Donna photo...



Tried Stacey's new profile picture as well...

Dragons and Hands

Some studies for the Sweetness & The Dragon picture I posted before.



Random baby out of Atlanta Parent Magazine.

My wife's coworker Donna's hands, and a drawing Sweetness did of me drawing.

A poor representation of the full Donna photo. It's a great photo, and I have not yet done it justice.
