Day 271: a police officer


28.09.14: the friend of yesterday's sailor is also looking to the ship. I do believe this is the same police officer who arrested Magpie on day 71. Also, just like days 146 and 147, and days 87 and 88 (both completely different themes from today, so check them out!), you have to view the two days together to get the full story. 


     As always, I would love to hear your comments and thoughts on my sketches. And if nothing else, let me know where in the world you are checking in from.

     Have a great week.

Day 269: Dad


26.09.14: whoever did not see this coming, has not been paying attention in class!

     Just like yesterday, the two men who qualify from the definition of Dad; my dad and my father-in-law. As these are two men I respect more than any other men, I do hope I did them both justice. (Dad, sorry about your nose... Just noticed it now...)

Day 268: Mom


25.09.14: yep, I will be in trouble again. I am drawing the three women in my life that meet the definition of "mom": my wife's mother (or my mother-in-law, if you prefer), my daughters mother (the wife) and my mother (although I have never called her "mom"...)

     My wife is has ruined it for herself as she claims I never do her justice win she is included. This means everytime I draw her, I am subconscious of this and the prediction comes true. Yet again she is proven correct: I did not do her justice. So that's one down... I wonder how the other two will react and whether or not I'll be sleeping outside tomorrow...

Day 267: feelings


24.09.14: I took this as a perfect opportunity to do a character study of Jon Pay. I seem to recall being told in art school to do one of these every time you create a new character. I don't think I ever do (usually due totime-restraints) but having done this tonight, I would strongly recommend doing if. I just googled "emotions" (after having done feelings) and grabbed a collection of emoticons, the most cartoony I could find, and tried to apply them to JP. I found both the process and the result, both educational and fun. I will be using some of these.
