Captain Jack Sparrow and Hulk Hogan!

More Movember sketches! Day 9, a donor requested Captain Jack Sparrow! Lots of detail on his outfit to simplify. Day 10, I had to do Hulk Hogan – this one was fun to do with cutout construction paper because he is just made up of colours and shapes 🙂

Movember catch-ups.

What do Chaplin, Sam Elliott and Wolverine have in common??? Almost nothing. Except they were requests in my Movember sketch challenge! If people give money to this cause, they earn the right to suggest a drawing! So here is Day 3, 4 and 5! Keep Mo’ing on and donate here!

I can’t grow a moustache – but I can draw one!!

I was thinking as Inktober was ending… hmmm, I should keep drawing. Someone suggested, why not do a Movember theme?

Since I am [more than] slightly obsessed with anything Hitchcock created, and it’s almost Halloween, “Psycho” seemed appropriate. These didn’t all turn out, but with theContinue reading “Sketching “Psycho”.”

Halloween-inspired Inktober’s.

Work has been really busy, and I can’t post the stuff I work on… so I am always trying to do a daily drawing of my own…. especially right now with Inktober! One is a retro-inspired suggestion by my wife, and the other is a film-inspired sketch from “Hocus Pocus”. I got some commissions toContinue reading “Halloween-inspired Inktober’s.”

Crafting a card.

I used to make a ton of homemade cards, but I did mostly little watercolor designs. Lately though, I have become obsessed with using craft paper cutouts. So fun to get back to the second grader inside and just use scissors and glue! I needed to do a card for friends of ours moving awayContinue reading “Crafting a card.”
