It’s Apple announcement day, and to celebrate here are the set of icons that rest along the bottom of one of my machines. Â Identify 20 or more and you could win a super exciting prize! Â If I think of one!

I’m not really happy with all of these, but I’m putting them all up because of the way the three together struck me. Â Lacking any ideas of what to sketch tonight, I went on Flickr and looked at randomly picked photos from the last seven days. Â When I saw one I liked, I sketched it, then did so twice more. Â After a bit of research, it seems these photos (clockwise from top right) were taken by people in Italy, Greece, and I believe, Qatar. Â And all posted to Flickr in the last week. Â Hello, the future — you are weird.

Bittersweet: it’s my good friend Stephenie’s last day at JPL, before moving on to new things. Â In typically entertaining style, here she is posing in my motorcycle helmet. Â We’ll miss you around here, Steph!

I knew him…sorta.

P.S. Thanks, Steve, for loaning me the anatomy book for artists. Â But if you and Mark don’t stop encouraging me and start acting more like villains, you’re going to ruin my whole narrative.
Stopped by the always-reliable Panda Inn tonight with a bunch of friends.  We went easy on the endangered mammals, and stuck with lighter fare.  Next time though, we’re stopping here.

Found this little guy in a bag of old LEGO that my wife brought into the family. Â He interfaces with LEGO, but he doesn’t look like quite at home. Â I’m thinking he’s a cunning imposter. Â Probably something like “LEQO” brand. Â Kinda like those running shoes I once saw at an Israeli street market — they had all the hottest brands, including Nyke, Adibas and Reobok.

This is another quick mirror sketch, similar to Sketch #87, but done with the other end of the brush pen. Â I like that the drawing style is considerably more decisive than the previous version. Â The eyes are stlll a bit dull, but then again, I usually don’t sparkle with vivacious energy while staring in the bathroom mirror. Â Usually.

Tonight was the closest I came to missing a day of sketching. Â Somehow it had just slipped my mind. Â Every light in the house was off, and I was headed to bed when it struck me. Â So I went back to the desk for a quick sketch, and here’s what I ended up with. Â I have to say, it’s certainly unique among the sketches so far…

A quick sketch from yet another figure drawing session. I had a bad angle on this particular pose, so I chose to focus on just the hand. It turned out okay, though I think it would benefit from some shading to push the more distant parts (index finger, top inside part of palm) a bit deeper into the page.
