March is Sketchbook Month 2013!

Wow! March is here again. Yup, as started by my friend Cedric Hohnstadt in 2011, March is the month to commit to sketch something (non-work related) every day. I've been drawing every day, but I got so wrapped up posting them on my Instagram & Facebook,  I've been forgetting to post them here! Shame on me. So, here is the first 30% of the month I missed. Enjoy...

March 1: Watercolor sketch of my dog.

March 2: Fingerpainting on my iPad.

March 3: Pencil sketch of a lovely wahine in my Moleskine.

 March 4: My daughter's cats sitting in the window.

 March 5: A thank you note for people who helped us move to our new house.

 March 6: More wahine.

 March 7: The 11th Doctor on an envelope I sent to my daughter. (Envelopes are cool.)

 March 8: Sketch on another envelope that I sent to an artist friend:

 March 9: A model I found online.

 March 10: Hume Cronyn, from the book "Actors Acting".

 March 11: Stayed up late drawing after watching "The Walking Dead". Love Michonne.

Part Deux...

On the Naughty List!

Love this Strathmore paper for painting, but it doesn't take to my brush pen so well. The lines bled a bit. Might have to re-draw this one at some point.

Just used a fine point Faber-Castell PITT pen for this one. Works better with smaller drawings.

Merry Christmas!

Working on the new Tom & Jerry series! These are a couple of Christmas cards I'm sending to a couple of my new co-workers.

GIF Test

I am trying out my hand at making animated gifs. Just wanted to see if this post works.

A Recent Gift & Commission

I did the top one as a postcard for my niece. And the bottom one is a commission for a friend to give as a Christmas gift.

The moral of the story is: Relatives get free art.

The Fab Four

This is a series of postcards I drew to send to my daughter while she is away at school. I'm sending one every couple of days. I don't think she reads this blog, so posting it here hasn't ruined any surprise for her. Besides, I think she has them all except for George right now.

I'm just glad she's not a fan of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!

Thank You Elephant

Just a little stylized elephant I sent off recently as a thank you for some souvenirs. It seems every time I drawn an elephant I try to find a different color to paint it. I particularly like blues and greens, but this rusty version was a nice shift. Opinions?
