Dancing away the creature

Harumpf!

Or maybe “harwoof”? Sorry to my canine readers, my Dogglish is a little rusty.

The flight of The Scarfo!

I’m going to try something new. Here’s the deal:

Last night I built a couple of little combat sketchbooks. I can’t wait to fill them with quick silly ideas. I’ll be taking pictures of the results and sharing them here with you, my inarticulate but faithful readers.

I’ll still be posting one or two more elaborate drawings every week, and maybe some other things that I’m working on.

Anyway. This is the first page of the first sketchbook:

Random silli… wait, what’s that?

A couple of sketches

I try to bring pen and paper with me wherever I go, to write down ideas and doodle around. I feel kind of naked without them, even when I know I probably won’t have a chance to use them. You never know, right? Sometimes I overdo it and look like I’m moving to another country, carrying big bags full of notebooks and tools and reference materials. But I try to keep it simple: often a couple of pens and a few sheets of paper folded into my pocket are enough, and even help me focus on capturing quick ideas on the move, that I can develop later at home.

Anyway, here are a couple of quick caricatures of real people that I drew this week, on the bus and at work:

This is a young girl I’ve seen a couple of times around work. She has looks and style (I drew her from memory and don’t feel that I did her justice, maybe next time), and on top of that I believe she might be a scientist… how cool is that?

In spite of what I said, these two teenage guys looked and acted cartoony enough that they left me doubting they were real… They wouldn’t stop laughing and acting silly. I couldn’t quite capture how crazy and funny they were. They were adorably nerdy.

And that’s it for this Sunday edition, folks. Have fun!
