#85 – Good for food *and* pleasant to the eyes!

Pomegranate tree

This is part of an unfinished digital illustration assignment.  Yet to be added: serpent and upward-reaching woman.

#84 – We gonna rock down to

Electrical partsAnother very quick end-of-day doodle.  Just a little visual recap of some of the things I was working on today.

Oh, wait; I guess I already did better versions of a couple of these.

#83 – Monsters of Folk

GuitaristsSpent this evening eating chili and kicking out the jams.  Before I knew it, it was late and I only had time for this 60-second sketch of some of my musical cohorts on invisible barstools.

#81 – Gas girl

Gas girlLacking other inspiration, I once again grabbed a magazine to find something to sketch.  This is from a Chevron ad in the latest Wired.  Still not sure how it’s intended to get me to buy more expensive gasoline…

#80 – Not-so-alarming clock

Alarm clockYou used to be cool, Clock.  You used to, you know, work.  But now, it’s like you’re stuck in the past, man.  Like it’s 3:23 p.m. all over again.

What’s that you say?  Dead battery?  Lame, bro.  The clock I remember wouldn’t let a little thing like “a lack of any kind of functional power source” get in the way of our relationship.

Oh, who am I kidding?  I can’t stay mad at you, lil’ buddy!  New battery comin’ right up!

#78 – Starsky & Hutch

Starsky

Went down south to spend some three-day-weekend time with extended family — and (by further extension) their two labradors, Starsky & Hutch.  This is the first time I’ve ever sat and drawn any animals from observation.

Hutch

I figured sleeping dogs would stay still long enough to draw, but that wasn’t really the case (hence the various different angles).  Actually, come to think of it, most models you’d have to pay to have them generate this many poses for you…

#77 – Killing, or dying?

ComedianAnother sketch based on a magazine photo.  This was in honor of last night’s stand-up comedy challenge, an annual event put on by a friend of mine.  Stand-up is a truly bizarre medium — and I have to respect those who are able to do it well.

#76 – Urban Hipster Weirdo

Urban hipster weirdo

Another quick little pen sketch, with body posture based on a magazine photo. Somewhere along the way, I must have decided this guy needed an awkward beard, horn-rimmed glasses, and a mildly disaffected expression. Worked out to be sort of a hipster trifecta.
