This is the evolution of another little graphic idea for the web (commissioned by the lovely Mrs. Sketch 365). Â 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!)

Another “grab-the-nearest-object” sketch. Â This little thing has been instrumental to almost all of the prismacolor pencil drawings on this site. Â In fact, this drawing itself was done with a prisma pencil, so I actually had to use this sharpener while drawing it. Â Hey, I should have drawn the actual pencil inside it. Â And then me holding that pencil in my hand. Â And then my actual pencil drawing my own hand. Â And then, inevitably, this.

If you’ll permit me one more post of these: here are a couple more storyboard frames from my work project. Â Of course, these only barely qualify as sketches. Â 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. Â 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. Â Only problem here: the quick and sloppy attempt at salt on the rim looks more like dangerously broken glass. Â Drink up!

Saw this photo of a couple of friends of mine and couldn’t resist it. Â Not to worry, this fight is only about as serious as an Adam West/Cesar Romero matchup.

I did a few different sketches today, and this one based on a magazine photo turned out the most normal (even if he does look a bit crazed). Â The other three were:
1) a figure drawing workshop sketch of a guy who my wife said looked like he should be the front end of a centaur;
2) a different sketch from a magazine photo that ended up looking like an old man in a water polo cap; and
3) a weird little mistake that I’ve dubbed “Blackbeard del Giacomo.”
Somehow I can’t seem to resist sharing that last little bonus outtake. Â If you can guess its backstory, you win a yet-to-be-determined-but-sure-to-be-amazing prize.
