Warm-up sketches


It's been a while. We recently had a lightning strike in out neighborhood that kind of threw off my groove. It knocked out our power, phones, internet, blew out our sprinkler system, water softener, thermostat, and my stereo. The power was only out for twelve hours, but the phone and internet I didn't get back until days later. A major bummer. That, and the fact that I've been really busy has kept me from posting for a while, but I think I'm back up and running.

These sketches are a bit blah, but a least it's something. I figured I better change my "Morning Sketches" to my "Warm-up Sketches" because of the fact that these can happen at any ole' time, not just the morning. These particular doodles just happened to happen during church... which is in the morning, but that is beside the point. The big guy with the stache is a memory drawing of big dude my wife and I spotted on the way to the movies. He was about 7 feet tall, bald and he had this big black honkin' moustache. My sketch might not show the true size of it. It was huge! And it was fluffy not hairy. It looked like he was snorting a muppet. You just have to draw people like that. I drew the baby because he looked like a little old man and I drew the cats because I'm workin on a book idea with cats. That's it. I'll try to do better in the future.

Sorry that things have gone afoul Guy! If there's anything I can do to help let me know.
Great sketches! Those cats are adorable (the crouching one is my fav!). Your people are always amazing. Glad you post as often as your able. It's fun to see what you come up with.

Nice sketches... good to have you back. I'm sorry to hear that you were part of the group that got nailed by that storm. I slept through it... gotta love a good nap.
