Another year, another January drawing challenge. I keep telling myself I don’t have time to draw a new caricature for free every day, and I’m not going to do it again, but then I give in and draw every day of the challenge. I guess I get a lot out […]
As was the case in 2018 and 2019, the local alt-weekly paper in Asheville, The Mountain Xpress, expressed a desire for me to once again create a local-themed cover illustration for what has become an annual “humor” issue for the paper. The centerpiece was decided to be the nearly 100 […]
This year, I started out with my usual Drawlloween prompts, but added the extra difficulty of trying to also incorporate the prompts from other October drawing challenges, like Inktober and Mabs Drawlloween Club. This resulted in some odd compositions that took a while to render each day, and the results […]
Today is day 7, the last day of the Drawlloweek. That’s the new term I made up to bow out of the month-long, Drawlloween drawing challenge. I’ve done the entire month every year since 2015, but the hours I spend on each drawing seem to increase each time (and the […]
Today’s combination prompt drawing covers three lists. They are: Drawlloween 2019: “That Time We Stormed Area 51” Inktober 2019: “Husky” Mabs Drawlloween Club 2019: “Black Dog” I went back to drawing digitally for this one, despite it being also meant for Inktober, but since no one really polices these things, […]
Continuing with drawing in actual ink on actual paper for today’s prompt combination of the following different October Drawing Challenge Lists: Mabs Drawlloween Club: “Huntress” Inktober 2019 list: “Build” Drawlloween 2019 list: “Imp My Ride” I did this mashup of all three with a drawing of the DC Comics heroine, […]
On day four of this drawing challenge, I didn’t try to complete multiple list prompts into one drawing. I kept just the Drawlloween 2019 prompt of “Wolf Yoga” by itself, since it was too serene an image to clutter up with a candelabra from Mabs list and frozen from the […]
Local foot freedom crusader, Kriss, contacted me to draw a cartoon to accompany his latest blog entry regarding the shaming that barefoot people are subjected to, particularly on airlines. This Scarlet Letter-inspired comparison was the result:
Combining the prompts from three different October drawing challenge lists (BAT from Mabs Drawlloween Club and BAIT from Inktober and the very specific, yet still somehow unclear: “Pumpkin Patch Precinct” from Drawlloween 2019) results in this colorful, yet inscrutable illustration from me:
Combining the prompts for Day 2: #Catacombs from Mabs Drawlloween Club, #Mindless (see how the skull have no minds/brains in them, even the fresh one) from Inktober, and #Dracula’s Yard Sale from the Drawlloween list. Hey, how do you expect Dracula to draw more victims into his catacombs if he […]
