Sketched these in class tonight. Â Asked the instructor for any recommendations. Â He said, “Yeah, you went past the center line on this lamp shade. Â Unforgivable, dude. Â Look at this — this is impossible. Â You see? Â It doesn’t work. Â And this over here wouldn’t look like that. Â There would be more light right here. Â Good though.” Â I like this guy.

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.

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.

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

This is the other half of an assignment I was working on — the orthographic views of the same plane from Sketch #8. Â I think this one better captures the funny kind of stubbiness of this little plane. Â Once again, it’s primarily based off this painting.

Just finished this for a class assignment: my second ever attempt at true isometric drawing. Â (First one was all kinds of messed up.) Â This is the Laird “Super Solution” – apparently the fastest plane in 1931. Â Translated to isometric view based on this painting by Nixon Galloway.

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

My brother’s ukulele. Or should I say, “one of my brother’s ukuleles.”
