Oh Hey, A PRESENT! New Assignments! - Bad Drawings #59, #60, #61
We got a package a few weeks ago from Jenn and Teen over in Singapore. These two ladies are part of our painting group "We Can't Paint!" at http://wecantpaint.blogspot.com/
Oh yeah... that group...
Anyways, in the package I received THIS!
A "Sketch-a-Doodle" book designed and printed by Jenn and Teen. Inside the sketchbook are 52 assignments. One a week, for a year.
I got working on them as fast as I could, to get caught up, but have been to lazy to take pics and post. Well here they are, 3 more Bad Drawings.
Drawing #59:
Once, when I was a kid, we made sock puppets in school. I remember designing it being very stressful. After I had attached the googly eyes, I couldn't think of what else to do to it. I went into a bit of a panic... I was worried that anything I added after the eyes would ruin it. So I left it as just a sock with googly eyes. Well drawing this felt just like being back in kindergarten. I froze after the eyes.
Drawing #60:
This Narwhal is sad cuz it hasn't yet made out in the middle of a street with a hazmat looking astronaut.
Drawing #61
This is an owl. After this third drawing I've decided to try and not make every drawing in this book some sort of attempt at cartooning "cute", or "Cute-ooning" as I'm nowgoing to call it. Million Bad Drawings - Always coining new phrases! or "Coinphrasing"!! (I just came up with that one too). I just noticed now that one of his toes on the right is drawn wrong. I'll pretend he's just mid scratch. Foot itch. Do I win a no-prize?
Thanks Taylor and Teen!

What's happening?! And another "A Bad from the Past! - Drawing #58
I've been stupid busy these last weeks... STUPID busy. But not stupid busy doing bad drawings. Until tonight.
Tonight I went to "Dr. Sketchy's" and did some life drawing.
It was the theme show for Camilla D'errico. There is a whole post on that alone, but it will have to wait. I'm tired, I'm kinda sad about how bad the drawings went, and I just flat-out don't feel like doing it.
However, I will post it in the next couple of days, along with some other cool stuff to show... TWO new projects.
And just to have something a little more visual for this post, here's a "Bad from the Past"!!
This one goes WAY back, to when I was 18 and wanted to be Robert Bateman. It's hanging, professionally framed, at my Uncle Hans and Aunt Rea's. Never have I passed it without wanting to take it down and try to fix that poor bears misshapen head.
This was at a time that I LOVED doing my work in Conte, but not with structure.
Had I structured out these bears, maybe the one in front wouldn't have a terrible case of Wonk-Head. It's like a weird tumor breaking through the side of his skull.
Til next time!

My Brother's Family - A Christmas Present! Bad Drawing/PAINTING #57! (Also #43-56!)
I wanted to try and paint my brother's family as part of their Christmas present this year. I'm not a very good cartoonist, but in the end, I think it actually turned out alright.
It wasn't without a few REALLY bad drawings though.
Trying to get the essence of Troy, Caryn and Jordan is a terrible task for someone who is in no way good at caricatures.
First I attempted a rough of how I would lay it out (Bad Drawing #43) . I realized at this point that I had no idea what pets they own, so I had to give him a call. You can see my awesome notes along the side.
2 short haired cats (grey and brown) and 1 bird. At one point I was going to just draw Jordan holding a dog as I believe she should probably have one eventually.
My brother was the hardest to draw. this was my first attempt (Bad Drawing #44)
I don't actually see my brother as a muppet. I don't know why his mouth looks like that. I figured that even if the drawing looked nothing like Troy in the end, as long as he was wearing a Bears shirt, someone would figure it out.
The 3 top drawings of Troy ( #45, #46, #47) Weren't working at all for me. I got all angry, cursed my inability to cartoon, and then finally drew the one on the bottom (#48 ). This actually said "Troy" to me. I went with it. The two Caryns (#49, #50 ) drove me back to wanting to stab my brain.
TROY!
This sketch (#51) sort of had a Caryn vibe to it that the two scribbled over ones (#52, #53) were lacking... DONE! I gave structuring it out a little better in the bottom doodle(#54).
Jordan I drew once (#55 ). Girls are hard to draw.
So pink colerase in hand, I drew them all standing together (#56 ).
They needed to be standing closer together, so I photocopied the drawing, and cut and pasted them in tighter.
I then transfered to Canvas to paint. It is not lost on me that Caryn's arm seems to meld right into Jordan's arm. BAD. I didn't realize until after it was painted.
Painting was the hardest part. It's not at all as easy as Family Ties makes it look. Also, I don't really know color theory. I have been told I went very saturated with my color choices.
Damn right! Saturated bitches.
