Another little project for class: this is the final frame of a little storyboard I’m working on. Â More on this tomorrow!

Again, I’m continuing work on this collection of 30 vehicle sketches. Â After drawing these four, I looked at them and realized they actually tell something of a life story. Â Hopefully not mine.
Anyway, I did a bunch of other vehicles today as well — here’s the full set.

Part of this week’s vehicles series, these are all based on advertisements in recent issues of Wired magazine. Â I’m sure if I come back and look at this sketch years from now, it’ll look amazingly dated.

New sketching project this week: 30 vehicles of various kinds. Â I’m starting out with a couple of oldies, based on Flickr photos (from users RaeA and KB35).

Part 5 — finishing up the assignment for class. Â (Rewind to Sketch #322 to see the whole set.) Â Again, it looks like the idea generation was not happening in a vacuum: there seems to be a lot of linkages among these as well.
So anyway, there’s 30 under the belt. Â Hey, I just got that much closer to my 10,000 drawings!

Part 4 of the 30 “people in environments” sketches for class. Â I realized I needed to pick up the pace if I’m to have these done by next class. Â Again, an odd assortment of ideas. Â Many of these spun off of conversation topics with a few friends at happy hour. Â And for several others, I have no idea (cemetary? farm workers? bird fancier? chin-up struggle?). Â Brains are weird.

This house-buying stuff is stressful. Â I’ve been investigating the property, talking to people, getting an inspection today, etc. Â From minute to minute the outlook seems to be constantly changing… Â “Oh, that’s a good sign.” Â “Oh, that sounds scary.” Â “Oh, but that’s good news.” Â “Oh, but that could be a big problem.” etc., etc. ad infinitum.

Day 1 of escrow on what could be our first house! One thing though: some of the floors are a bit slanty. This will require further investigation.
