Seriously.  These things are terrible.

This is another sketch from a figure drawing workshop.  I’m not at all happy with it, but when you’re sketching on only about three hours of sleep, that’s what you end up with: famed martial arts master “Stumpy-Armed Yul Brynner.”

This is another quick sketch from the storyboard collection I’ve been doing at work.  The idea here is that rock samples would get collected from Mars, and then be put in a little rocket and sent back to Earth.  So here, a recovery team converges on the re-entry capsule, which has touched down somewhere out in the middle of nowhere.

Of course, the real deal would probably be more involved than four dudes in a pickup truck — but I’ll let someone else figure out that part.  And the whole part where samples are collected.  And that bit with the automated rocket launch from the surface of a planet millions of miles away.  I’ll just stick with the pencil sketches.

This is the evolution of another little graphic idea for the web (commissioned by the lovely Mrs. Sketch 365).  And yes, I realize I’m pandering to my female readers with my recent posts of flowery branches, muscular shirtless men, and of course, Vanilla Ice.

“This sketch! is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!”

(This reference! is archaic! And-to-an-atrocious-song!)

If you’ll permit me one more post of these: here are a couple more storyboard frames from my work project.  Of course, these only barely qualify as sketches.  But since I was focused on doing a bunch of these today, I figured I’d grab a couple to post.

I know someone who’s going to be huge in brain resarch.  And I’ll always be able to say, “I knew her when…”

I was just messing around this evening and did this quick page of icon ideas.  I think I like the bottom two elements best, as well as the far right one.  Of course, I realize now that I should have done one of these to go with it.

Tried something different with this one — drawing only with straight lines.  Kind of an interesting method; I think I’ll try it again in the future.

Another lazy glassware sketch — but hey, good old reliable Mijares happy hour always does the trick.  Only problem here: the quick and sloppy attempt at salt on the rim looks more like dangerously broken glass.  Drink up!
