Back off man, I'm a scientist....

Some of me...

I doodled something like this on my two week vacation. I think I'm going to use it when I eventually design my real website. Being home was nice. I was sooooo relaxed. It is a lot easier to come back to work after having that time to wind down. I got to see lots of family (although there is too many to squeeze them all in), I got to camp out at a bonfire (and get rained on), take a 30 mile bike ride, go swimming at the lake, eat Smith's hot dogs (best hot dogs EVER), and do a couple days of manual labor. Although I'm not as driven to do work around the house as my brother might be, I do love working outdoors. It is something I hated doing as a kid, but now that I don't have to do it I miss it. What's great is that you can look back at the end of the day and see what you have accomplished. Some times I can sit in front of my computer working for days and it feels like nothing is getting done even though it is.

John Cleese on the Muppet Show

I watch the Muppet Show on DVD while I work and I had to get these sketches out of John Cleese. Unfortunately I didn't have my sketchbook or pen with me so I used sharpie marker on in a notebook.

He is such a funny guy, he has an explosiveness about his comedy. He tries to play it straight until the Muppets drive him lash out in comical goodness.

An old sketch

This was in my sketchbook. I never got around to posting it for Illustration Friday and it just got forgotten.

Loosening up...
All three models we've had since we started going to the sessions have been stellar.

Back at RIT it was hard to find decent models. The males were usually decently built but did very strange poses, and the women usually did not have much of a figure. It's great to be able to see the form while I'm drawing the poses.

Blue pencil treated me pretty well that day. I believe animators use them because they are magic. I want to go over some of these to darken them up or maybe try to color them.

More 20 minute variations.

Sometimes just scribbling is the way to go
