John Cleese

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

Inktober Day 9- Vampire Girl

Have I told you about my new friend Lily?

We like to play and be real silly

And i like it, but mom says its weird

For a girl Lily's age to be pointy-eared. 

She uses strange words for an 8 year old

And her skin is always shivery cold

But she does lots of things

That i think are neat

Like how well she can use her feet

To hang upside down from a monkey bar

Or jump right over my grandma's car

And though she's messy sometimes with red splattered paint

I've really only got one complaint

It really limits your time at the park 

When your friend only visits after dark.

Inktober Day 1

Tortoise Monk

I have not seen the Kung Fu Panda movies, except for a few minutes of one of them, and there was an old wise turtle in it. I didn't intend for this to look like that character- I just like drawing turtle and they frequently end up being old turtles. I am told that this looks very much like the one in the KFP movies. Apologies to the artists who worked on those movies.

Just a girl and her robot

I've been using the Character Design Randomizer at this link, and it's pretty useful. It gives you some basic character appearance traits and it's really helped me to break out of drawing the same old things all the time. The prompt I used for this sketch was:

Body Type: Medium

Clothing: Risque Dress

Head Type: Female

Weapon/Accessory: Robot Familiar

Don't feed the plants

Boy King

Just an idea for a character that I had a while ago.

23 Days of Halloween: Day 2- Ghost Acrobat

In preparing a bunch of drawings for this month of Halloween sketches, I started thinking about Marc Davis' countless drawings of ghosts for Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. So many of his ghosts were really just people going about their daily lives, after they'd died! I thought I'd come up with some ghosts, enjoying their chosen professions in the afterlife. I started alphabetically. So here's a Ghost Acrobat.

Ron Moody as Fagin

I was probably about 10 years old when my parents showed my brothers and me the movie "Oliver", based on the stage musical, based on the Dickens novel. I remember Ron Moody who played Fagin to be really creepy. Something about his dark sunken eyes, whispy hair and diminished mouth made him seem so effectively sinister. I listen to the soundtrack once in a while and it prompted me to google some photos of him to test out my brush pen (which was very new to me when I did these several months ago).
