August

Here is a cool blog I came across... http://springfieldpunx.blogspot.com/
My favorite drawing is the Back To The Future one.

Here is a new doodle from me. This one is a warrior in armor.

New sheriff in Town

I drew a few stick people a couple of days ago and I liked how this guy turned out. It's actually about a quarter this size in real life though. Ninja Squirrel better be on the lookout, because there's a new sheriff in town.

Bear

I got the idea for this bear from a book I found in the new section of the library. I love the book. I'll post more about the book later. But for now, know it has a GREAT section on bears.

Mr. Crabbs

I drew this little crustacean at trivia night last Thursday. Nothing fancy, but I still think he looks pretty cute.

Beeep beep booo beep

Logo contest

I drew this one up as an entry to a logo contest at work for a wellness program. It didn't end up reflecting wellness at all, but I still think it's a fun doodle.

Pumpkin Ahoy!

Pumpkin Pirate version 2... Enjoy

Pumpkin Pirates

Super quick doodle on a small piece of paper at Trivia Night. We didn't come in first, but we did win a glass today. Hooray! If you're having a hard time figuring it out, he has a peg leg and a pumpkin head.

This wizard didn't turn out quite how I wanted, but it wasn't too bad. I'll probably give this one another try and see what I can do.

When Squirrels go bad

I happened to catch a few minutes of Ice Age today and it made me think of this doodle which I did a little bit ago. Even though this reminds me of the squirrel from Ice Age it wasn't my inspiration for the drawing. My favorite drawings, like this one always come from my imagination.

This isn't the best squirrel ever, but I like the situation. For some reason the thought of a ninja squirrel just seems plain funny to me. I thought the cobra logo on the human ninja turned out well considering the pencil I was using at the time.

The story in this scene is that the ninja has been sent on a mission to steal the nut from the squirrel. This image captures the moment as the ninja jumps out of the bushes and surprises the squirrel.

How To Draw 101 Funny People

I came across How To Draw 101 Funny People last week. It has a nice variety of cartoon characters. I always like books with a bunch of variety because it gives me ideas on how to draw different styles of beards, noses, eyes, hands, etc.

I'm not a big fan of trying to draw exactly what someone else drew. I try to take the artists style and see how it fits into my doodles. I prefer the cartoon style over realism.

So far I've drawn the viking, roman soldier and the astronaut. I changed the viking a little from how he was drawn in the book and I like how it turned out. There are a few small issues I have with it though. The cap seems a bit lopsided, and the sword doesn't match with the hand. I'm hopeful that version 2 and 3 will turn out a lot better.

Doggie Dash

The Oregon Humane Society is holding a fund raiser Saturday, May 10th at Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon. The Doggie Dash looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

Pirates

Does The Goonies count as a pirate movie? If so that's my favorite pirate movie of all times. Enjoy a couple of pirate doodles from this week.

I ran out of space on the right side of the page for this one, so the parrot got squished a bit. It didn't come out too badly though.


I tried to make this one look like someone I know who is a big fan of Talk Like A Pirate Day. The Pilot wheel and anchor turned out alright.

Ahoy matey!

Gnome

Who doesn't like gnomes? This gnome gives tours of his underground lair with his trusty lantern. You can (legally) view the South Park Gnomes episode here for free.

Hoodie

Sure, I like hoodies. This one was done on the left side of the paper, so the left arm got cut out a little.

I'm going to hold myself to posting once a week. It's enough to where I'll keep working on this, but I won't get burned out.

Have a good weekend. It's time to get out and enjoy the sun, and yes, I'll be wearing a hoodie.

Beginnings

I'll admit it, I'm a horrible artist. Ok, I'm not an artist at all, but I always doodle. Recently I started trying to draw things other than squiggly lines. I thought I would start chronicling my attempts and see it takes me. Enjoy.
