Drawing pictures all day (ain’t all its cracked up to be!)

I only have a week to get all the illustrations and animations on my plate done, as well as develop a logo and design the DVD wrap for this upcoming training video. So I spend all day drawing these:

This first batch Jim said was too cartoony. I figured for a quick pan, we didnt want to get too detailed… but okay, fair enough. He said more refined and realistic with the hatched line shading I did on the feet and brain. Here’s my second take:

Jim still thought those were too caracature-ized… which i could see. Well, not the last one. But okay, more refined. Think comic books, Rob… pretty realistic facial proportions but still stylized. Okay, I can do that. This one took me the longest:

(BTW number 4 sure looks like Tony Stark from Iron Man, huh?)

At this point, he realized this was taking way too long, and this is probably too detailed for a few-second background graphic. I agree – the same feeling was growing in me everytime I had to go back to the drawing board. In the end, the idea was scrapped and we’ll just do a few photos placed in thought bubbles.

So that’s how my day was wasted. Grrar. Nobody to blame, just another “trip to Abilene”…

The first stab (LOL!) at my take on the characters from Clue (Professor Plum, Col. Mustard, Mrs. White, Miss Scarlet, Mr. Green, and Mrs. Peacock)…

Your thoughts?

Jennifer asked me to do an illustration for the cover of the church bulletin this last week. “Love your neighbor” sort of theme, with a dash of “Home Improvement” thrown in. She says we’ve been watching too much Nick At Night lately ;) Wilson came out well, but my Tim Allen leaves MUCH to be desired. ;)

“NO CHANGE”

We give thousands of dollars to political candidates so that change can happen through our government, but so often, the chance to change the world is right next to us. It’s sad really. Choose how YOU change the world.

Sketches…

I was in awe of the speed of our new scanner/printer, so i scanned a bunch of drawings from my sketchbooks last night. Here are some of them:

(This cartoon was done after walking to the train thru Seattle’s huge rainstorm last fall. All the streets surrounding Qwest Field during Thursday Night Football were under about 8 inches of rushing rain water!

This cartoon was done on the way to my church Men’s Retreat last weekend:

And so was this one – this really happened to me… well, kinda. The cops drove by me slowly, they didn’t actually approach me while I was on the park bench:
