More Apples!

More apples! This one was another example for art class. I think apples are great for teaching students to really focus in on variations in tone because they're sorta easy to draw, as in if you can draw a circle you're most of the way to drawing an apple, and then you can concentrate on tonal detail. Plus, if you happen to be kind of a jerk, you can stab your pencil into the fresh apples the teacher bought and ruin things for everybody.

Corporate Zombie

What's with this guy's pose? He's like a rapper posturing in a video. And the lame joke I tagged on isn't helping him. There's probably some sort of corpse/corporate pun or something I missed in there somewhere.... Oh well. He does kinda look like one of the dudes in "Thriller" though.

Craterface

This moon got its face from a Sears Portrait Studio style picture of a five year old girl, which quickly turned into the moon, I think because I thought it would look interesting and not because I thought guys named Buzz should stomp their moon boots on her face.

Crazy Lizard Boy and the Weirdo

These were two unrelated doodles that I decided should talk to each other. Why is Crazy Lizard Boy wearing underwear? A better question is why that weirdo is so excited about it.

KA-POW!

This is my left hand, as drawn by my right hand (the other way around doesn't look nearly as good), plus some punchy stuff to make it more exciting than just a boring hand study. Now it's a thrilling action scene! Ka-Pow!

Pretty Lady

I drew this gal right after that bald nightmare below. She's not anybody in particular, I just thought I should draw somebody who wasn't some crazed weirdo, and I think she looks alright. Who knows though, we only see her from the neck up. She could always be the type who tucks their shirt into their underwear or something.

Fester, Egghead, and Grandma

The nice and somewhat weird thing about doodling is how it can be a stream of consciousness sort of thing. This oddball guy just sort of appeared out of my pen and wound up looking about 78% like Uncle Fester, about 12% Vincent Price as Egghead from Batman and about 10% my grandmother circa 1974. What does that mean? Who knows. Maybe that I'm weirder than this creepy dude I drew.

Sixteen Year Old Dinkus

I was teaching a class that was doing self portraits and felt like drawing too. Obviously this is not a self portrait for me as I am not a sixteen year old dinkus.

Burned Out Hippie Dude

I kind of like this guy. He's kind of like an older, confused looking Jesus. Like "Wait a sec, I'm over 33 years old, shouldn't I have been crucified by now or something?" What he doesn't realize is that his name is pronounced hey-zuess and he's just coming down off of peyote.

Apples Dos and Don'ts

This drawing was made as an example for students for what to do and not do. I was seeing a lot of weirdo X-Ray negative apples before I drew this to show the difference between using tone as a subtractive rather than as an additive. Okay, so I still saw a lot of them afterward too. At least I drew a pretty okay apple.
