life drawing & self-portrait

This is the first self portrait I ever attempted a) of this size (it's on 18''x24'' newsprint) and b) in charcoal. I've been slowly getting used to charcoal again, having not touched it since when I was getting my BA.

And although the quality of the photos is dismal, I uploaded a handful of pieces of life drawings from October and November to my flickr here.

doodle amnesty

I've been hoarding my drawings all October. So here is an assortment of original character doodles I finally got around to compiling and posting. Group picture in color, sheet for younger characters, a haircut, you better believe those are Minnie Mouse ears and a page of comic about a dirty limerick.

One of my friends is putting together a group-effort animation based on Loituma/Leekspin which, um...I don't really understand, but it looked like fun so I made one. This is first time I can remember doing a hand drawn animation like this.

My character ends the video by dropping it :D

sketchbook project a-go-go

I signed up for the Art House Co-op's Sketchbook Project almost two months ago, but didn't get a chance to work on my book until now. My theme, as the above photo suggests is "It will be fun, I swear!"

And that anagrams to "Abuse, write, fill, win." Which I've decided must be my real theme.

If I'm not mistaken, the Moleskine cahiers they're using have 60-something pages and I'm only 5 in so far. But I have until January 15th to complete it, which I fully plan on doing. I love the idea of the project after all. And I already gave them $25 dollars.
