SIXTY FIVE

Day 65: Lines and such.

SIXTY FOUR

Day 64: What if you could smear pixels on a pen tablet? Maybe this.

SIXTY THREE

Day 63: Sooner or later, I'd get around to the Dark Knight. Batman has been a solid favourite my entire life, partly due to the series "Batman: The Animated Series", which is still to this day the best incarnation of the franchise on film. End of story, no arguments. Sure, the Dark Knight was a good movie, but it's not a solid Batman. I don't think they can make a Batman movie to please my idea of Batman.

This sketch isn't as solid as I could create, but I didn't feel like spending hours on a Batman face today. Maybe sometime in the future.

SIXTY TWO

Day 62: Inspired directly from Winsor McKay's "Little Nemo" cartoon strips from 1905 - 1911. Winsor McKay is the godfather of animation. He was able to produce fabulous animated features from hand, without the use of a light table or clear paper. He was a genius, and is worth studying.

SIXTY ONE

Day 61: This guy's inspired by the fat business man in the Radiohead "Paranoid Andriod" music video. Eventually the guy is seen in a black metal studded thong.....it's a good video to say the least.

SIXTY

Day 60: This belongs in the "Mutts" cartoon. Charles Schulz even says this series is "one of best comic strips of all time."

FIFTY NINE

Day 59: I'm slowly but surely starting to get a hold of my personal colour wheel. Colours that balance and compliment one another. I'm not sure of the technical term, which I studied at one point in time, but these colours seem to blend fairly well. Too bad I prefer black and white artwork.

Inspired subconsciously by Popeye's Father, Pappy.

FIFTY EIGHT

Day 58: Another experiment in brushes. I hope all this experimenting leads up to one giant million brushed face.

Here's yet another failed attempt at "woman".

FIFTY SEVEN

Day 57: I drew a line and went with it. It ends up looking like a really stylized Archie...or Jimmy Olsen. (That Jimmy Olsen reference sure does remind me of something.)

FIFTY SIX

Day 56: Marilyn Manson?

FIFTY FIVE

Day 55: If I was a character on the Johnny Quest show, here's a quick composite sketch of what I'd probably look like.

FIFTY FOUR

Day 54: It's amazing what Illustrator is capable of doing with the stroke of a pen tablet.

FIFTY THREE

Day 53: Watercolour brushes are neat.

FIFTY TWO

Day 52: Discovered a whole library of Illustrator brushes to play with.

FIFTY ONE

Day 51: Another reason I don't draw women on a regular basis.

FIFTY

Day 50: Quote the raven, "Nevermore."

FORTY NINE

Day 49: Self portrait #2,746

FOURTY EIGHT

Day 48: This guy is a nerd, geek, dweeb, all around dork. He looks great. The mouth took me awhile, not that it was difficult to draw, but I couldn't settle on a mouth to keep. The original mouth was more elaborate, but I've done it so many times before that I decided on this simple answer. Enjoy.

FOURTY SEVEN

Day 47: I'll express inspiration from Stanley Donwood yet again for this image, that is almost lifted from Thom Yorke's "The Eraser" album cover. I still believe it's one of the best cover's I've ever witnessed. I really wish I could afford the $400 bucks to get a signed print of it, but I guess some luxuries will come later in life.

FOURTY SIX

Day 46: My attempt at a more realistic cartoon. Someday I'll draw something I'm really proud of, but for now you'll just have to deal with what I'm doing. I have a hard time sitting down for hours and drawing. I have to spend at least an hour on faces if I want to produce anything worthwhile. This past month has been a difficult month, to say the least.

FOURTY FIVE

Day 45: Line man.

FOURTY FOUR

Day 44: Here's a curveball for you. I don't personally know exactly what it meant, so here it is, for what it's worth. I can tell you I really like the Easter Island statues, and it's inspired some work before. I've added the red because it compliments the black so very perfectly.

FORTY THREE

Day 43: Scratch face. Sometimes freehand sketching returns decent imagery.
