May 14, 2008 21 Day Creative Challenge Days 14-16

I was away for a few days taking care of some family business, maybe I can post a picture of what I was working on, if I can scare up a digital camera somewhere... anywho... Here are the sketches I did the last few days, not as many as I've previously posted for the challenge, but I've been busy. My topic the last few days was "Singing".

Day 14
This guy is pretty good, I like him. Sorry these are so rough, I haven't had time to really clean them up as much as I'd like.


Day 15
This guy looks more like he's laughing than singing. I was going for singing and dancing here. Maybe if there was some frame of reference, like he was on stage, or holding a microphone. But that expression still looks like laughing to me.


Day 16
These are the roughest of the sketches I'm posting here. Look at their hands... I really need to sit down again and just draw hands for a week straight. They look like they're wearing oven mits. So maybe they're singing about baking cookies. "We're making CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWC-OH-LATE CHIPS! Peanut-BUUUUHTAHR and MAC-AH-ROOOOOONS! You'll eat plate after plate until you go LOONY TUNES!"

May 1, 2008 Creative Exercise Day 5

Well, I didn't have nearly as much time today, so these are rough sketches at best. Three goofy kids dancing at the top, the middle one is doing the Robot, which is a nod to Alicia, and her robots the other day. Unfortunately the robot dance looks a lot like standing still, which is what I was trying to avoid, so I drew cartoony swishy lines in there. Then the three ballet dancing little girls, they kind of got blown out, thanks to my scanner. And the couple, that's what I was picturing when I picked dancing as my next verb to draw. The others just kept cramming themselves in, begging to be drawn first.

Beep-beep! This is a fun exercise!

April 30, 2008 Creative Exercise Day 4

"Carl liked his women tall, and Eleanor loved a man who could dance. The two happily danced the night away, at the Hilltown High Society Ball and Sock Hop."

My topic for the challenge today was Dancing. And I liked it so much I think I'll use it again tomorrow. I really liked the first two characters I sketched today and didn't have time to do anymore. Man, this is fun!
