Hilarity Ensues!

Here are some doodles that I thought were funny. When you laugh at your own drawings, you know they're good. Right? RIGHT?!?

The giant mole rat is just hilarious on its own, no explanation necessary. The man makes me laugh because he looks so happy and has tiny skinny legs. The dog was drawn with an old calligraphy pen. Dogs with cones on their heads do not like it when you make fun of them, but you can't help it.

As I think I've said before, about 90% of my sketching results in small (these are each about 2 or 3 inches across) rough scribbles. I hope someone gets a smile from this post.

Oh Bwunhilda, you're so wuvwy...

Here's a Valkyrie cow. It's hard to make an animal with hooves look like it's holding something. And to make them stand on 2 legs but still kind of have regular cow anatomy.

I like her bangs.

Water Dog

I love new art supplies so. I got a new Winsor Newton Series 7 brush, and some nice new Alizarin Crimson paint, and what do I use them for? A picture of an axolotl with a feather boa.

Cameloids!

If I'm just doodling, my art isn't very good. I don't try to make correct proportions or ear shapes

or anything. I just let things appear on the paper. In this case, I plugged in the old tablet and had camels etc. on the brain as I let the stylus go to town. I am amazed by some people's sketches that are pretty much finished art; mine are very primitive but I hope they have a bit of feeling to them.

Spam Inspiration

While emptying the spam folder, I noticed that one had the subject"Dapper Two-piece". I thought it was kind of funny, and later made this doodle.

"I say, old bean, my head is rather too big for my body."

Lion, crocodile, comic

Sorry I had to upload it in pieces, the file of the whole picture together was too big I guess.

Everybody knows that crocodiles have to spin around to take bites of food, right? Right?? A quick comic, done with a sepia Micron that I bought but used once. Marvel at how the character designs change in every panel! I don't like trying to come up with hand and arm positions.

Susu's eyes

Indus River dolphins (AKA susu) are very endangered. They have tiny eyes since they live in murky water. Do they still have this type of eye test? You hold a black plastic spoon-looking thing over an eye and indicate which way the E is pointing with your hand.

I wanted kind of a monochromatic picture; I used blues, greens, and sepia (though I threw in some pink). I don't know how that eye chart is staying up either.

Fox, in cape

I'm like the wittiest person ever! A Cape Fox, wearing a cape! I was going for that pose Dracula does sometimes, with the cape over an arm, over his face. It looks more like a one-armed fox wearing a lumpy scarf. Sketch using watercolor (and imagination....)

G'day

And this is some kind of siamese cat-colored kangaroo chewing on his scarf. Hey, it's winter in Australia now, isn't it?

My Pub

I've been meaning to update for a few days but haven't had the time. I'm making 2 posts, since I have a hard time figuring out the spacing of stuff when I try to put more than one picture in the same post.

The phrase "squid and whistle" popped into my head the other day. I thought it sounded like the name of an English pub, maybe it is and my brain just remembered it. Anyway, here's my sketch of the whole thing.

"Lesser" in name only

Poor lesser flamingos, they're always ignored. They have cool fluorescent pink legs and maroon stripy beaks; more people should draw them! I think birds look so cute when they puff up and scratch their heads with their feet like cats. Watercolor, based on a sketch I did of a flamingo at the LA Zoo.

I never saw a purple shark...

Here's the deal: sharks continue to lose their teeth through their entire life, with rows of new ones waiting to roll out. So I thought that the Shark Toothfairy would have a rough job. Watercolor sketch; those are supposed to be shark teeth dropping out the bottom of the bag.
