Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

No, this is not, as you might suspect, a come-hither look.  She’s examining a bizarre skin condition on her shoulder.  Don’t worry: she later learns that it’s nothing serious.

Probably the most compelling sketch backstory I’ve ever written.

So I did the quick sketch of the flask, didn’t really like it, and flipped the page.  Did the even quicker sketch of the forlorn mountain man, didn’t really like it, and flipped the page.  Then I went back and looked at the two together.  Something seemed to match up, so I figured Photoshop should bring them together.

After the helmet question from yesterday’s sketch, I figured some actual faces were in order.  So I just drew a few different versions, inspired by various photos.

Went to a surprise party tonight for a friend who has just finished law school like a champ.  I can’t imagine putting myself through something like that.  So cheers, Jason — enjoy that well-deserved drink!  Oh, and then the months of agonizing bar prep…

Several sketches ago, I paid respect to “@thelonelypie” — and today it was time to do so once again.  I didn’t know what to draw today, and he stepped in and supplied me with a bunch of really solid ideas.  Unfortunately, they were all more complex than I had energy for.  So instead, we have a little tribute to the man himself.

They met on the set of High School Musical!  It was supposed to the fantasy romance for the ages!  Oh, cruel world!

Got sad news today of the loss of a fine man and great example to many.

A couple months ago, I was in Austria along with several good friends.  Here are three of them, as photographed there by a fourth, the great Sarah Welch.  The likenesses are kinda iffy, but hey, it’s “Sketch 365,” not “Perfect Reproduction 365.”  Oh, and if the one in the center looks familiar…
