Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

If your answer > $310, you didn’t go to Al Weiss.  Seriously gents, take some cash and cut some deals.  Those guys are great.

Today, I drew a forward-looking trumpet.  You know, just because.

P.S. Yes, horn enthusiasts, I realize these valves aren’t exactly accurate.  Hold your letters, please.

Finally got to welcome my cousin back to California today!  This guy rode shotgun on the 3000-mile U-Haul trek, and saw her through scorching deserts, blown tires, and (shudder) Graceland.  You’re a trooper, Bernie.

So my friend and former workmate Stephenie was kind enough to leave behind a box of Duplo at work.  I figured it was time to build something and do a quick sketch of it.  So what to build with a limited amount of Duplo?  Well, this is what you get when you let the wordplay dictate the design process: a pretty ugly “Duplo duplex” (complete with cubist palm tree in the front yard)!

Depending who you ask, this drumming accessory is either called a “stool” or a “throne.”  Either way, the possibilities for bathroom humor are torturing my inner 11-year-old.

Another wedding weekend — this time featuring my wife’s cousin.  Here, the bride and groom share the dance floor with family members young and old.  Another very simple sketch, but still a nice memento.  Congratulations, Tom & Steph!

Tried something new this evening: drawing with a single, continuous pen line.  Interesting effect — and I think it kinda works here (but mainly because the subject is a pretty forgiving organic shape).

What’s that?  I’m a month late?  Sorry, my cable’s been a little spotty.

This was based on a random Flickr photo — but should have been drawn with different media.  When the gradation effect I was trying didn’t work out, I decided to go straight black-and-white, but that just makes him look like an orca.  Oh well.  At least he still looks like he could mess you up.  That, after all, is the most important part of any shark drawing.

I wonder how long it will be before we look at a picture like this and say, “Can you believe we used to work that way?”  “Yeah, remember ‘laptops?'” “And ‘keyboards?'” “And ‘mice?'”

It’s Apple announcement day, and to celebrate here are the set of icons that rest along the bottom of one of my machines.  Identify 20 or more and you could win a super exciting prize!  If I think of one!
