Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

…and as an adult with a continuing habit.

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

As I was roughing in the early marks of this very quick sketch, the main lines got a little long.  So now it’s some kind of super-deadly flying x-acto knife.  Then again, I seem to do a lot of object sketches, which aren’t all that dynamic — so maybe this is a happy accident.  Until someone puts their eye out.

At my grandmother’s in Sydney, I was admiring this fantastically comfortable wooden chair (which I’m told is designed for playing bridge).  The seat back pivots on two dowels, and is 100% awesome and super-comfortable.  I was told I could eventually have it, but in the interest of not stuffing furniture in the overhead compartment, I figured I’d do some orthographic sketches so maybe I can build one some day.

POST-SCRIPT FROM THE NETHER-REACHES OF TIME AND SPACE:  Keen readers will note no sketch for May 3rd due to an overnight date line crossing.  Fear not, sketch fans, for I will experience May 7th — and sketch it — not once, not thrice, but twice!

Well, not really.  Regular scissors, but drawn with my left hand.  Apparently non-dominant-hand drawing is a good brain exercise, because it allows you to turn off parts of your brain that can constrain you when drawing normally.

This is another tribute to Mr. Administrative-Captial-of-Bolivia, from Sketch #47.  He’s always using his left hand, like a weirdo.

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

Now there’s an idea for a companion sketch.  Find an old bucket of earthworms and  draw “bait.”  In fact, why not a series of painfully literal interpretations of basic phrases?  Oh, right, because that would be lame.

I wish the sketch were a little better, but it’s been a long day, so I made it quick.  Anyway, this is a little tip of the cap to Ben and Sean, whose Photo 365 projects helped inspire my own sketch version.  Be sure to check out their great stuff — links over on the right.

Regular readers will know that my elder brother has become the de facto antagonist for the Sketch 365 story (wheninrealityhehasbeennothingbutsupportive-butforgetIsaidthat).  Here, the sinister mustache-twirler lurks just left of frame.
