#265 – Tommy

TommyThis was done in honor of the USC/UCLA game I spent forever trying (and failing) to find on TV tonight.  Should’ve snatched up my cousin’s extra ticket when I had the chance.  Oh well.  At least we won!

#264 – Asleep at the pencil

Asleep at the pencilDid I mention that I need to go to bed earlier?  This is about how I felt while doing tonight’s super-quick sketch before bed.

#263 – Suburban sprawl

Suburban sprawlThis was me after getting home from work today.  I woke up a while later, and did this quick sketch while I still had a sliver of energy.  I need to start going to bed earlier.

#262 – The Menagerie

MenagerieTried something different this evening — wanted to see if I could do a bunch of different animals in a cohesive style.  These are just basic characterizations, but it would be interesting to try some other animals or people as well and see how that would work.

#261 – “You’d do it for Randolph Caldecott!”

Randolph Caldecott

Just recently bought a very cool compendium Randolph Caldecott’s picture books.  It’s full of amazing illustrations, one of which I have shabbily counterfeited here.

#260 – Cardinal, but no gold

CardinalThe USC/UCLA game is coming up this weekend.  Here’s my meager attempt to fly the colors.  Well, one of them anyway.

(Actually, this had nothing to do with the game — just  a quick, late-night Flickr sketch.  Based on a photo by Gypsy Flores.)

#259 – Tyrolean trio

Tyrolean trioA couple months ago, I was in Austria along with several good friends.  Here are three of them, as photographed there by a fourth, the great Sarah Welch.  The likenesses are kinda iffy, but hey, it’s “Sketch 365,” not “Perfect Reproduction 365.”  Oh, and if the one in the center looks familiar
