The Dye is Cast

This painting is supposed to be an example for class for a creative way to do a color wheel.  

Looking at it now though I realize it looks like I made a poster for lesbian pride.

The truth is something you don't have to lie about

Another lady doodle from my little notepad. I drew it while watching the first episode of "The Hour," which I'm told is an excellent series and so far it is.

Simoriah

Another lady drawing from my little notepad. This one I managed I think to make not look like Steven Tyler. 

Doodle looks like a lady

Another doodle from my new little notepad. It was supposed to be a lady. Unfortunately, I think she looks a little like Steven Tyler. Oh well.

Click Bait

So, if you read this blog from time to time, you know I'm a bit nerdy and a few days ago I posted this.

I thought that 15 year old painting would get some nice attention if I posted it to the Star Wars Google+ Community.
What did I get?
Nothing.
One solitary +1 from a community of  over 115,000 users. One lousy click.
And it's not like other posts weren't getting attention. Other posts, lousy ones, were easily getting dozens of clicks.

So I decided I needed to game the system. I needed to come up with something those geeks would click. So why not Darth Maul? Dorks love Darth Maul. Even the ones who hate Phantom Menace still love Darth Maul.
It was sure to get clicks.

It topped out at 83 +1's.

Meanwhile a half naked lady in an Ewok t-shirt got over 250.
I think maybe I should just stop trying to impress dorks.

May the Fourth of July Be With You

A nerdy painting I made... oh geez, fifteen years ago I think? Maybe fourteen years ago? I was digging through some old stuff recently and found it.

Four is Thirty-Seven

Star Wars turns 37 today.

(my second attempt at this portrait, this time with pencil and Prismacolor on cardboard rather than Copic markers- I think this one turned out a bit better)

Listen Bud, He's Got Radioactive Blood

I thought "Amazing Spider-Man 2" was pretty much not amazing and in fact actually terrible, but Spider-Man is still a cool looking character who's fun to draw, so there you go.

It's a pencil drawing on grey paper with a bit of white Prismacolor that I then scanned and colored up in Photoshop.

Yoda One for Me

May the Fourth Be With You!

Who's your daddy?

Take two with the Copic markers, this time with something more nerdy.
I managed not to get a big splotch of mistake on it this time and added a dab of Prismacolor for some darker darks and a smidge of Photoshop to blur to the background to finish it out.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!

I gave my three year old niece an easel for Christmas and drew Santa for her to help break it in.

The Monster

Happy Halloween!

More dorkiness....

Further dorkiness...

Drawing Fan Art is less dorky than writing Fan Fiction, right?

(I like Star Wars)

Apple II

Still another apple, this one Prismacolor colored pencil on black paper.

What I Drew At Home Today

I had the day off and felt like drawing, so I drew this.
So I guess the title of my blog is partially inaccurate today as this is what I drew while watching cartoons.
It's some lady's face. I thought her face was interesting and wanted to draw it so I did.

Angel Cakes

After yesterday's picture I wanted to post something that proves I can draw something of a definite gender wearing sunglasses.
This is an older drawing that was used as a CD cover once upon a time back when people still used CD's.
