Last One.



This woman was going crazy at Karaoke with the dancing. At one point it even looked like she was doing the Pee Wee Herman dance. Oh, and she was wearing a Harley Davidson shirt. These people make Karaoke worth it.

More than a feeling



This was a blind contour that I embellished a little.

I haven't gone to figure drawing lately but I keep meaning to. I found out recently that the Wednesday sessions at PNCA are going to continue through July so at least I'll have plenty of opportunities.

Btw my promotion is still on, people. Spread the word.

How can be?



If you're going to Karaoke on a Saturday night it's always a good idea to bring some sketching paper with you to amuse yourself while waiting for your turn to sing. Thanks Ben for the sheet of paper!

I'd also like to introduce a brand spanking new "Sketch a Day" internet promotion. If you sign up to follow this blog I will personally draw a portrait of you and send you a scan of the drawing. If you decide you want to enjoy it in your home you can then purchase it for a measly $15. All you have to do is click the button in the right-hand column that says "follow" and send the picture of yourself that you want drawn to dailysketch17.blogspot.com. And yes, this offer will apply to all of my current followers too, so feel free to send those pics in!

Boogaloo



Back when I was working for Amoeba I found an instructional poster from the Bay City Breakers on how to do various breakdancing moves inside of an unrelated record sleeve and I've been wanting to make an animated gif of it for a while. I do think that if I spend a little more time on this I could make it more exciting.

A trip to the beach



Stephanie
and I visited our friends in Seattle a few weekends ago and I had time to sketch this picture of Adam. I think I went a little overboard with the whiteout.

Elk



I did this drawing a few months ago and finally got around to adding in some watercolor around the base.


It also looks cool super saturated:




And even de-saturated.

The continuing story of the Walrus and the Albatross



The finished product. Water color is neat, eh? I think I'd like to do more stuff like this.




I also made this fancy animated gif. You can see our characters as they go from Kansas to the wonderful world of technicolor.

The Walrus and the Albatross



If you recall a very long time ago I invited people to send me pictures to draw. I think I only came through with one of them, but I never forget a project and I'm finally getting around to doing another. This is the beginning stages of a piece inspired by a photograph sent in by Lannice Montague, of San Diego CA. The two figures are leaning up against a section of the Berlin Wall with a Star of David painted on it. I'll be posting a more finished piece tomorrow.
