Had lunch today with some friends and family, and was able to fit in a very quick sketch of this centerpiece. Â Should have used graphite rather than a prisma pencil, but hey, now I know better.

…as they have become known. Â To me, anyway. Â Mainly because they are awesome, just like these 70’s soft-rock mustache legends.

I like that this project will provide certain souvenirs of events throughout the year. Â Today’s was an important one: a get-together and memorial for Mr. Jack McKinney. Â Huge thanks to the McKinney family for opening their beautiful place for this special night. Â Mr. McKinney will be missed.

Just had a fantastic evening with family both immediate and extended. Â It seemed that a sketch of my glass of grappa would make a nice souvenir. Â And even better: one drawn on the back of my placecard, which itself featured papercraft decoration by my 3-year-old brother. Â Young Master Hulme and I now united — comrades in artistic expression — with the mighty firstborn in our sights.

…by which I mean the pruning of this tree, as well as the rushed and sloppy sketch of it. Â Then again, I suppose it’s “Sketch 365”, not “Masterpiece 365.”

I was super excited to find an old LEGO set I got as a present years and years and years ago. Â I don’t think the original instructions suggested this specific arrangement of parts, but after all, that’s what LEGO’s all about.

I realized that everything on here so far was manufactured objects and dudes. Â Thought a change of scenery was in order. Â This is a 10-minute charcoal sketch done at Art Center today.

…but if there’s a way to do it, Ben Orchard would probably know.

Stopped in at one of Art Center’s regular figure drawing workshops to get inspiration for today’s sketch.  This guy was awesome, and could no doubt beat me up six ways from Sunday.  He had a lot of great 5-minute poses with props (which I butchered), and then this 10-minute one (which came out okay).  Maybe I’ll run into him again at some point and he’ll break out one of these.

Went for a walk to find something to draw. Â This inspiring piece was the winner.
