Drink and Draw (Sep 8 10)

Ha! I almost wrote "Drunk and draw". That would turn out well. I'm going to post my pictures in reverse order so it looks like I get worse as the night goes on. It's mind games. I'm tricky that way.



Here I drew an eye and an ear and some aliens. It was getting late in the evening so I decided I better get to some practicing some more realistic stuff (hence the aliens). Realistic stuff is my weakness and it's definitely holding me back from more awesome cartoons. Therefore, I practice. Notice the awesome cartoony lines denoting that the eye is seeing and the ear is hearing. You never would have known otherwise.


Here is a short cartoon involving some popeye wannabe and an octopus. What is it about? Does the octopus take the crusty old sailor home for the night, or is it a revenge plot involving a gruesome tentacle murder? You decide! Also included is a Shaolin monk kid (who I have been told looks a bit like Aang from Avatar: The last airbender), some crazy little cartoon ghost, a guy with puckered eyelids and an old farmer with an awesome curve to his bodyline. The head totally doesn't fit the line of the body, which is why it's so great.


Here is a jazzman I started drawing before I realized I don't know what a saxophone looks like.


Here's my first page of the night. Not so hot, but I love the look on that guy's face who is looking at the octopus man. He's all like "uuuWHHHAAAAA??". Originally the eyes were all buggy, but then I topped them off flatly and it looked so bizarre I decided to keep it that way.

Anyway, that's it for tonight. Enjoy!
