[the occasional] Dumb Sketch

Backing away from the daily sketching of 2015, to observe more slowly and acutely.

Well, what is the going rate?

    The beginning of a sci-fi series, for sure.

    I thought you got bit! But it is cool, particularly because it’s the main colored thing in the picture! 🙂

      Thanks. I’m still not sure I like it.

        I don’t think flesh tones are easy to mix. I’m trying to remember what colors I used for Charlotte’s Web illustration. I probably googled it. And even then i wasn’t overjoyed with them.

        Fall is coming, Kirk!! :)))) I can’t wait to paint leaves. Sorry to change the subject completely but I am very excited for fall.

        I agree. You did well with Wilbur, if I remember correctly. Are you running your air conditioning these days?

        Not at the moment but we’re headed back to the 90s as August breathes an exhausted sigh and tries to exhaust everyone else too! Temps will go up later today. 😕

        Oh you’re sounding very zen there, Kirk! :)))

        No Zen here. Just Ferris Bueller: “Life moves pretty fast.”

    Wow, this looks cool! Great shadowing, and I like that you only colored the main issues, hand and starfish. I also like that the hand is “too red”, that makes it special! 👍
