In a shocking upset to all conventional societal expectations, it turns out my mother-in-law is great. Â Had a great day with her and the rest of the family. Â Hope your Mothers’ Day was good too.
This is the first Sketch 365 piece that I’ve created based on a photo. Â It feels a bit like cheating. Â But the models sure stay still longer.

“…and anxiously awaits the arrival of our astro-men!” Â (Name that quote.)
Actually, this is just another little thing I’m working on for JPL. I was just trying to get the positioning figured out for a little web graphic. Â This wasn’t designed as a sketch for this project, but I’m busy, so it’ll do!

A very long and busy day on this Carlsbad field trip. Thought I would have a second to sketch during a lunch break by a waterfall. So I set about drawing this geologist resting by the falls, and this is as far as it got before I was interrupted two or three minutes later to be on to the next thing. Nice change of scenery from the office though, I’ll admit. Now to much-needed bed.

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.
