Ps and Qs

First a sketch, then a bit of explanation (and a youtube video)

One of the things I always struggle with is explaining where the words and/or punchlines come from in sketches. Most of the time I just don't know. Something, for some reason, pops into my head and then onto the page it goes. Here, at least, I can explain, in full detail, at least part of this one.

Sketch + Sketch (Two For the Price of One)

I'm Johnny Relaxed right now. Friday night, I played a bunch of God of War 2 (I never finished it and I've got to get ready for God of War III), read an old issue of Giant Robot featuring an interview with the Katamari series designer Keita Takahashi. Last night, we went to see Ghost Writer, I played more God of War and read a bunch of Arabs: a History.

I also did these two sketches:

One Last Week of Life Drawing

You know, the reason I've been able to post so much art from this class is because I haven't made it out to the art store to get a couple of larger pads. I usually have a nice big pad of drawing or charcoal paper and then a pad of newsprint for life drawing. Since I hadn't been to lfie drawing in maybe three years my supplies on that front were completely depleted. Which means I've been drawing in a 9×12 sketchbook. That kind of sucks for the art itself, since I have to use pencil/pen and not charcoal/conte crayons, but it does mean I can share more of my art here.

At least there's that.

Fun.
