Day 28

I love how the scribble drawings help me to see things that wouldn't readily be seen.  I sometimes see shapes in other things as well.  Today I saw the shape of a Basset Hound.  Here's what it looked like after I tried to draw what I had seen in the shapes:

I'd still like to change a few things, which I can do next time.  

Basset Hounds are so adorable!

Day 27

Teaching kids gluttony since 1978.

"It's a race, it's a chase, hurry up and feed their face!

Who will win? No one knows! Feed the hungry hip-ip-pos!

Hungry hungry hippos! (open up and there it goes!)"

Day 26

A while back there was a show called The Angry Beavers.  I was a big fan.  I decided to draw Daggett.

Day 25

Quite tired today.

Day 24

I decided to take a look back at Day 18 and make a character from the scribble drawing fish.
Here's the original:

I thought it looked a bit like a swordfish, so I elongated the top of the mouth.  I liked the angled look on the top and went with more angles throughout the fish.  I then outlined in it ink. 

The ink helped allowed me to see it well enough to trace onto some colored paper.  

Here's how it turned out: 

A friend of mine and her husband just moved into a new house.  I want to send them a congratulatory card.  I thought of putting Snoopy and his house on the front.  I did a couple of sketches.

I'd like to try to finish the card by tomorrow and send it out.  Time for bed now, though.

Day 23

Great day today.  

In 1879, Henri de Toulous-Lautrec painted "Artilleryman Saddling His Horse."  One of my roommates showed me this painting which was completed when Toulous-Lautrec was only 14 years old. 

Today I drew my own version.

Day 22

Two of my roommates from college came to visit today.  One of my favorite memories from our year together, was when all the roommates and I took glow sticks and used a slow shutter speed on a camera to make shapes or words. 

We even made a Christmas tree!

I did a quick marker sketch of the tree we made that night.  

It's not Christmas yet, though all the retail stores seem to think it is, (warning! cheese to follow-) but it feels like Christmas because of the wonderful gift I received today in the form of a visit from friends.
