Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

That’s right.  Straight up C-120 style for non-stop partyin’.

First blind drawing on Sketch 365!  I remembered this exercise from art class way back in grade school — the blind contour drawing, done without looking at the page.  Of course, it’s usually done with one continuous line, rather than picking up the pencil and resetting.  Doing it that way can help things stay in a bit better arrangement and proportion.  Still, I had a good laugh at these when I finished.

So, since I imagine you may not have already guessed, left to right is Mr. Bolivia, Ms. Punchingbag and Mrs. Sketch 365.

I know, I know — this is about the weakest sketch that I’ve posted.  I was really busy today finishing up a digital illustration/product design assignment.  I’ve been creating a design for a LEGO toy of the Mars rover from Sketch #148.  This sketch was just a really quick utilitarian attempt to figure out  a way to build a basic version of the robotic arm out of LEGO.  Which brings me to the title of this post.  I built this thing out of LEGO.  Not “LEGOs.”  Good day sir.

Ah, yachting — a pastime that combines three of my very favorite things: pretension, motion sickness and Sperry Topsiders.

Seriously.  These things are terrible.

My aunt is passing through town this weekend, and brings with her more great photos from my grandmother in Australia.  The writing on the back of this photo says that my aunt, mother and grandfather are baling hay on the family farm — but I think it’s clear who’s doing most of the work…

Another soulless product illustration!  Sorry, I wasn’t feeling particularly creative tonight, so we’re left with another “nearest object” sketch.  But it’s all good practice.  Plus, even though it’s a dinky pocket-cam, it’s still a Canon.  So perhaps Ben and Sean can forgive my earlier indiscretion.

This is another sketch from a figure drawing workshop.  I’m not at all happy with it, but when you’re sketching on only about three hours of sleep, that’s what you end up with: famed martial arts master “Stumpy-Armed Yul Brynner.”

This is another quick sketch from the storyboard collection I’ve been doing at work.  The idea here is that rock samples would get collected from Mars, and then be put in a little rocket and sent back to Earth.  So here, a recovery team converges on the re-entry capsule, which has touched down somewhere out in the middle of nowhere.

Of course, the real deal would probably be more involved than four dudes in a pickup truck — but I’ll let someone else figure out that part.  And the whole part where samples are collected.  And that bit with the automated rocket launch from the surface of a planet millions of miles away.  I’ll just stick with the pencil sketches.

This is how all of Sketch 365 (and then some) fits on my keychain.  Hello, the future!  Now make with the hoverboard.
