I’m finally on Winter Break, but there’s very little rest so far. They’re doing some sort of construction next to us in this parking structure, and they tend to start at around 7:30 every morning. I can only imagine the jackhammering concrete is going something like this.
It’s the last day of classes before Winter Break. I have to imagine this is something like how my students will behave on their way out. The ones who bothered to show up today, that is.
I do enjoy my job immensely, and a big part of the reason is the students I get to teach each day. One of our students is a young girl, adopted from China, who is about the sweetest and most adorable individual you’ll ever meet. She has a bubbly, giggly personality, which I hope this quick sketch brings out.
The students at my school are all champing at the bit for Winter Break to arrive. We’re in school until this coming Thursday, when we’ll gain freedom for a good 11 days. Granted, I’m pretty sure all the teachers are just as ready for the break as the students.
Anyway, the weather’s not particularly cold here today, but I thought a group of bundled-up carolers might be just the ticket anyway.
Here’s a comic. Sure, this is probably at least partly an idea someone else has had at some point, but I’m still pretty pleased with the whole thing. Enjoy!
Here we are, kicking off the fourth week of daily sketches! Today’s sketch is a quick one I did with a thin marker, just for the heck of it. No pencils, no prep, just me and a marker. It felt pretty loose and fun, and I’m actually pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Also, I’ve got a little something extra in the works. Check back later this afternoon for a special bonus.
Man, three weeks of this! I tried drawing today’s sketch on my phone using Sketchbook Mobile. My wife has a stylus she got for her iPad, so I used that. The results are…amateurish, to say the least, but I think it’s a matter of getting used to the way the stylus interacts with the touchscreen. Anyway, I’ll have my regular art supplies back tomorrow, so it shouldn’t be a problem again.
Late post. I’m sorry. We had a tacky Christmas sweater party. Things were fun. Anyway, here’s a picture with a dude wrapped in Christmas lights, because why not.
It’s been a much too busy day, and I accidentally left all of my drawing supplies at school. This was drawn in my Moleskine journal with a regular gel ink pen, no pencil sketch, so it’s a little rougher than usual. As it’s my sister-in-law’s birthday, I figured I’d do a quick little portrait of her.
