#18 – “I love lamp.”

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

#15 – “Family togetherness” or, “Brothers vs. brother”

Placecard grappa glassJust had a fantastic evening with family both immediate and extended.  It seemed that a sketch of my glass of grappa would make a nice souvenir.  And even better: one drawn on the back of my placecard, which itself featured papercraft decoration by my 3-year-old brother.  Young Master Hulme and I now united — comrades in artistic expression — with the mighty firstborn in our sights.

#13 – The most dangerous monkey in all LEGOdom

Dangerous LEGO monkeyI was super excited to find an old LEGO set I got as a present years and years and years ago.  I don’t think the original instructions suggested this specific arrangement of parts, but after all, that’s what LEGO’s all about.

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

#10 – …in Their Flying Machines

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

#8 – Those Magnificent Men…

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