Upside Down & Sideways
This sketch was drawn upside down & sideways. I wanted to see what it would look like.
Soon, I may draw with my left hand to see what that looks like.
Around the Block
Tank II
I have a friend who was a professional soldier for many years. He was kind of lost for a while after his tours in Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. Part of the issue is he was really good at what he did and he liked it…at least in the beginning.
Now, he’s a network engineer. Quite a change.
I bet he could do some serious damage with a Philips head screwdriver.
No ID, No Beer
I just had a sobering thought the other day. My oldest is at the age when I had my first beer.
I preach to my kids that drugs are drugs. Period. They can do just as much harm as good. It doesn’t matter if they are prescribed, legal when your of age, or not legal at all – they are still drugs.
Alcohol has wreaked havoc in my family, and continues to do so.
And it’s legal.
I will not ever again touch alcohol, nor will I depict it in my art.
By the way, I don’t have an issue with people who drink, just the drug itself.
Penguins in Love
Wrastlers
I tried to create a scene with organized chaos.
It’s funny how the wrestlers look similar to the RoBots.
Wenceslaus III
I figured it’s been a while since I’ve drawn Senoir~ Wenceslaus.
Snuff
Doubt
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Two weeks ago, I had an episode in which I worried myself into a tizzy and I didn’t sleep a wink until the next evening. If you’re not familiar with the term “tizzy”, read the definition here.
I was worried about not worrying enough about my life and the direction it has taken.
When I start to think about all the stuff that other people worry about and how I used to worry about the same crap and how I don’t any more, it worries me that I can let it go so easily. I sometimes think that I am doing something terribly wrong and nobody else does it because they know something I don’t and I’m afraid the feeling may come back so strongly that I feel the need to get another corporate job with benefits and paid vacations and an expense account complete with expense reports and PDO request forms.
What a nightmare.
Anyhoo – I really like this sketch. I started adding color before it was finished, therefore, the features are slightly larger than in other sketches. I went nuts with the color. This is a texture fest more than anything.
