I’m working on a new digital illustration that’s meant to incorporate some kind of action between foreground and background elements. Â This is just a quick exploratory sketch to see if this kind of composition could work for it. Â Things would obviously need to be shifted around a bit, but I think the basic camera angle will work.

Okay, so — the first person who can correctly identify what this thing does wins…oh, say, a dollar. Â Wait, this may be super-easy. Â This could be an ill-conceived contest…

Been thinking a lot about my 365 project today. I’m really enjoying this, and am almost a quarter of the way finished already. Â If you’re not doing a daily (or weekly) creative project yourself, please think about starting one!

Just another slice of what my day was like. Â I spent most of the morning behind one of these Panasonic HD cameras, for a live broadcast we were doing at work. Â Fun fact: just one of these things costs significantly more than any car I’ve ever owned.
As a side note: I was really uninspired to draw this evening, and even filled a sketchbook page with drawings I ended up hating. Â They were quick pen drawings done while looking in the mirror (like yesterday’s), but of different facial expressions. Â I was really bored and frustrated with them. Â Then I sat down and got out different paper and some Copic markers (which I hadn’t used in about three weeks). Â Switching up the style and tools made a huge difference. Â Even though I made some frustrating mistakes on this one, I was ultimately much happier with it than the others, and had way more fun doing it.

Had just a few minutes to sketch before happy hour.  This is the Borders bookstore in Glendale (shown here at night).

A great thrift store find from several years back. This fan-driven wonder emits an unholy honk with every key (after a split-second delay, of course). Or if you listen to the manufacturers:
“Everyone wants a turn when you have a GE Electric Chord Organ in the house! Color-coded music book comes with it. It’ll have you playing chords and melodies in no time at all! Pleasant start to a musical education…for everyone!”

This is an initial test for some more aviation sketches I may do for a brochure. Â This was based on a photo, but I don’t think it works too well: the angle is too extreme. Â Oh yeah, and the plane doesn’t fit on the page. Â Another minor point I may want to consider.

May 7th, Take 1. Â This is what I was looking at for most of the May 7th that started in Australia: the inside of a Qantas Airbus A380. Â Not a terribly exciting sketch, but when you’re stuck in the same chair all day, there’s not much to choose from.

…as my 92-year-old grandfather-in-law like to say whenever he’s about to vigorously shake hands with you. Â He, as you might have guessed, is awesome.
