I keep coming back to these characters. They’re fun to draw and each time I get back into them I make changes. Sometimes it’s a conscious effort to correct something I’m not happy with. Most times it’s just a natural progression of change that seeps into the sketches when I redraw the characters. I don’t always have an older sketch handy. I find the evolution really interesting. Thanks for the idea for Harriet’s special smile Paton!
Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas, and a safe and happy New Years!
Woot! Turkey! (doin’ the turkey dance)
I figured I should keep up with the Jones’s, or at the very least the Francis’s and make a post now that I have the time. Paton has been posting A-Santa-A-Day on his blog, Cardboard Treehouse. If you haven’t been visiting, you should be!
Just a few cafe sketches that I’ve scribbled over the last couple weeks.
I picked up a new sketchbook on Saturday. It’s just a cheap-y landscape style book, 8 1/4 x 12. The paper has a pretty good tooth, and takes ink pretty well. Unfortunately I’ve noticed that the pages have already started to curl from use. Oh well, it was $6.95, so who cares. Worth picking up from DeSerres if you’re stopping by. I’ve already torn off the label and I forget the make. I’ll see if I can’t track it down. Here is a page… The scan was pretty grey. I think I need to reset my scanner. I had to tweak it a bit in Photoshop.
So, I started off with the plan of sketching a dragon. I liked the last one and thought I’d try to repeat the process. It was at the end of a busy day and I was tired. This is what came out of my pencil.
It’s been a few weeks. I’ve been drawing, but not scanning much, so I thought I’d make it a point to toss up a few things today. Most of these were drawn outside somewhere… Summer is here!
Just a quick post from a pedestrian walk-by-cartooning at the cafe this afternoon.
