I’ve been pretty busy with some client projects (mostly in the toy industry) which at the moment I’m not allowed to talk about. Today I let my hand wander a bit while talking on the phone and listening to some YouTube videos. These are some of the doodles that came out.
Just barely made this one in under the midnight deadline for Sketchbook Month. A quick doodle from the Little Rascals.
I think its some sort of unwritten rule of comedy that cat + water = funny.
Today’s doodle is based on a casual comment I tossed off to my wife about one of our girls’ toys. It made her laugh, so I thought I’d translate it into my sketchbook.
Don’t forget to check out all the terrific art that continues to flood into the Sketchbook Month blog. Great job everyone. Keep ’em coming!
Working on a big deadline today but I made time to bang out some “speed sketches”. Just a few faces I came across in a Google image search.
Wow, I am totally overwhelmed by the response this little idea of mine is getting. I decided to declare March to be Sketchbook Month. I’ve committed to sketching something in my sketchbook every weekday in March and posting it on my blog. A lot of my artist friends liked the idea and have decided to join in. The first day of Sketchbook Month isn’t even over yet and already about a dozen talented artists have sent me their first sketches, with many more expressing a desire to contribute.
In order to keep things manageable I’ve decided to give Sketchbook Month it’s very own blog:
http://sketchbookmonth.wordpress.com/
Here’s how it works…
Anyone can take part as long as you commit to creating at least one new sketch every weekday during the month of March (yup, you can have weekends off or use that time to make up for missed sketches during the week). You can jump in at any time but everything shuts down after March 31 so the sooner you get on board the better.
To join simply post your first sketch online (i.e. your blog, flickr page, etc.) and then email the link to sketches@cedricstudio.com. Every day or two I’ll update the Sketchbook Month blog with everyone’s new artwork along with a link back to your page. Unfortunately I won’t have time to check in on everyone to see if you’ve posted anything new so each time you post new artwork you’ll have to email me again. Otherwise your work won’t make it onto the blog.
More rules and info are posted on the Sketchbook Month blog. It’s still “under construction” with tweaks being made but the basic info and first few sketches have already gone live. There’s even an RSS feed if you’d like to follow the blog that way.
Questions? Leave a comment and I’ll try to answer them. Or you can email sketches@cedricstudio.com.
Thanks again to everyone for your interest. Happy sketching!
