The Money Tree

I had this idea one day and sketched it out. Then it took a few days to figure out how I wanted to go from there. My second favorite subject is pencils. Bears are number one and pencils are close behind. I guess that is why I love Black&White. I have done my share of graphite pencil drawings. Some day I will have a show of all of them. I am still trying different styles with the computer. I love the flat color. No gradations allowed today.

A Real Player

The ultimate young baseball player can hit, catch, steal bases and conduct a coherant interview. Remember these are only young kids. Being comfortable at the mic is as valuable as hitting a 90 mph split finger fast ball. The TV jobs are probably fewer than the major league jobs. I had fun doing a little watercolor. I haven't done that in a while. I finally tried some things with my scanner and it did a decent job.

Sketchbook Ballet Dancers

I have been drawing for a good half hour each day and it is a great exercise. I think I will post more of the pages. This was from a photo in the NYTimes/The Arts/2 17 2011. Andrea Mohin photo of ballet dancers. Great Photo. The Thursday Times is the best. Arts section, Style section. Long may it live! I am usually alot more cartoony but not that day. I like to sketch people at the local SBucks. They are rarely portraits of that person. I catch one part of a face that interests me and then I make the rest work. Quick studies. I do learn alot.

Cable Connection

Simple isometric view of an internet cable connection. I am trying to round out my digital portfolio with some technical kind of illustrations. Not every job is creative. Isn't this the piece that always breaks?

Devil Girls

Valentines Day is approaching and I had to do some devilish girls. Fun sketch that I had to finish. All done in illustrator. Happy Valentines Day to all and to all a good night.

Library Birds

The town library is having a poster contest. Do a picture of your pet. My apologies to Nina, our cat, but these guys are more fun to draw. All done on the computer. I wonder what I could do if I had a good MAC. Apologies to this older eMAC that has been serving us for some time.
