Bearly Rid'n

 

My brother in-law wants to get a motorcycle. He is by all accounts a giant of a man at 6'6" and 350+ lbs. He is a terribly sweet guy. The thought of him riding a motorcycle brings to mind images of Harry Potter's Hagrid tearing along the streets of Little Whinging. My sister asked for a picture of him riding his dream bike. Of course I couldn't resist.

 I have always loved the pen and ink/watercolor sketches of Marc Davis. One of my very first books was a book that gave an illustrated history of buccaneers, privateers and pirates. My parents bought me the book from the Pirate's gift shop in the  Magic Kingdom. It featured many of Marc Davis' sketches and studies from his work on the ride. I still have this book today. A bit tattered and worn, but still good.

Inspired by Marc Davis, here he is, just bearly rid'n.

Battlin' Baddie

A sketch done at ten minute intervals over the course of three lunch periods. I realize that his far leg is obscured, but I assure you it is just behind his arm. He is not a tripod.

Hagrid

My take on the lovable Hagrid from JK Rowling's Harry Potter. Enjoy.

The Pizza Man

A silly early morning scribble to help get me warmed up for the day. I do wish that I could find a pizza parlor that was open for breakfast. That place would be a gold mine!

My little Punkin'

Here is a quick sketch of my daughter Mia. As you can see she has mastered the art of walking on her tippy-toes, waggling her little french fry finger while admonishing our beloved Pomeranian to "go! go! go!".

I love being a papa.

The Return of the Gorillataurus

Another Goat

I just wanted to draw the hair. I hope that everyone has a terrific weekend!

Green is my Favorite Color

I cannot believe how fast the week has gone by. I am working on some more concept sketches for the Crazy Turtle idea that was spawned last week. I am having a great time researching old photos and World War II era uniforms and weapons for these yet unseen sketches. Check back for progress on those. In the meanwhile, here is my go for this week's DrawerGeeks, the Orion Slave Girl from Star Trek. Also, see the new movie. It's pretty entertaining.

If that turtle is going to fight the Commies, he's going to need an adversary.

Sharpening the Pen

Occasionally, I like to sharpen the pen by sketching from my imagination in the sketchbook. Sometimes the pen stays dull. Sometimes it gets pointy.
