Monstro the Whale

I took my sketchbook to Disneyland this week and spent some time sketching the sights. Here’s Monstro the Whale, who has sat open mouthed at Storybook Land since 1955. One of my earliest Disneyland memories was my grandma pointing out to me that his eye would periodically open and close- one of those fun little details that I looked for every visit after that.

John Cleese

I think I noticed how funny John Cleese's face was long before I knew who he was.

Mary Poppins

This was my favorite film growing up and still ranks in my top five.

Inktober Day 24: Princess Leia

My daughter's a recent Star Wars fan, and she's dressing as Princess Leia for Halloween. She also really wants a double bladed light saber with the crossguard blades.

Inktober Day 23: Dobby

Inktober Day 22: Little Red

Inktober Catch Up Day 21: Just let me in

This sums up 95% of the nightmares I had as a kid.

Inktober Catch Up Day 20: More Doxies and Cornelius Fudge

Trying to do all these catch up sketches is getting confusing. I accidentally posted 2 on Day 20. The first are yet another take on the doxies from the Harry Potter books, this time with the appropriate number of arms.

and below is my take on Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

Inktober Catch Up Day 19: Pig

Inktober Catch Up Day 18: Stork

Inspired by a book about life in Holland in 1566. 

Inktober Catch Up Day 17: Another Doxy

Another Doxy, one of the biting pixies from Harry Potter.

Inktober Catch Up Day 16: Dutch Farmer

I found a book on life in Holland in 1566, with lots of great costume details and facial expressions. I draw things wholly from imagination way too much and it's nice to have some reference once in a while to add variety.
