A quickie sketch as I was waiting to have my wife’s car washed for Mother’s Day (this isn’t her car, by the way). I hope all the moms had a great day today.
Some birthday flowers for Joanie, sketched a couple days ago. I’m not sure if anyone else is having the problem I am with Blogger right now. Normally you can click on this image to see a larger version of it, but not this time, as I had to hand-code this image post. Blogger seemed unable to upload an image to my FTP server. Weird. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon.
UPDATE 5/21/08: Seems better — I can finally post again, but still a little buggy.
Another recorded visit to the barbershop. I’ve been drawing so much at work these days that I’ve been neglecting the sketching it seems. Time to get back into it.
At a recent school event.
Yikes! I took about a month off from blogging — a record for me I think. My apologies to anyone wondering what happened. Part of the deal is I got a new guitar for Christmas and I haven’t stopped playing it. I think some of my sketching time has gone that-a-way. Between work, family, playing guitar and general laziness, I had a brief sabbatical from the sketchbook.
Kids move around so much, even while doing something relatively sedentary like reading. I was trying to get the bounce light from the table that was reflecting up on her face. She enjoyed reading the books to me. Very fun.
My daughter had some dental surgery over the holiday. This is her older brother drawing in the waiting room.
We scheduled our eye exams together today, took a trip down to our old neighborhood in Hollywood and had lunch afterwards. It was one of those restaurants with the butcher paper “tablecloths”. Our nine-year old came with us and told me to “draw mommy” on the table before the food arrived. Luckily I had the trusty 6b clutch pencil and smudge tool. I had a little trouble focusing because my eyes were still dilated, and messed up a little on her right eye, but it’s a pretty good likeness I think…
