Sketchy Lunch
I can see the music.

So my scanner here at work is not cooperating - part of the reason posts have been so infrequent.  I’ve been doing some more detailed work lately and so that’s another reason, but also I’ve been busy and a bit lazy too. But I’ve got one up and running at home and I’m going to try to pick it back up again here and see if I can get back up to daily posts. So, here’s a teaser for the illustration I’ll post tonight or tomorrow. Battle Wizard!

Squid Drummer.
So this was done over several lunches and while waiting for rides from work. I got a new sketch pad and I always feel anxious when I go to start the first entry. I’ve gone so far as to start drawing in the middle of a book rather than the first page. I know you can tear it out but I just have a thing, OK? Anyway, I wanted this first entry to be quality so I took my time, not something I’m usually very good at.
I think this is technically pretty good. One of my favorite gray pens stopped working right when I started shading, some perspective issues bother me and I don’t like the squid itself very much. But I like this one quite a bit.

Obviously, i didn’t do this over one lunch hour. It was done mostly while waiting for my wife to pick me up one day and then finished over a lunch. That fur took furever. Wakka-Wakka-Wakka!

I added a background to yesterday’s lunch sketch in addition to my other happy ICBM sketch today.
