Post Script

And you thought that was the last post... Actually, I just wanted to mention that I've created a store on Zazzle to sell some of my artwork from this project printed on t-shirts, mugs, etc. You can find it all at http://www.zazzle.com/buzzkill007.

The Fat Robot Sings


This is it. The fat robot has sung. This is the final doodle for Doodle-All-A-Day. I'm a little bit sad and a little bit elated. This has been an interesting experiment, to say the least.

I can quite honestly say that I've learned a lot by doing this. I've learned a lot about using the Wacom tablet, and creating artwork in Photoshop. I've learned a few things about my drawing style, what I like to do, what I don't like to do. Most of all, I've learned that I can stick with something, even when I really don't feel like doing it... and believe me, there were a good number of days when I said, "I just reaaaallly don't feel like drawing today."

This has been a good warm-up exercise. It's time to move on to bigger and better things. I have another project that's been itching for me to take it on. I won't be committing to doing one doodle a day with this next project, but I plan to share a bit of my progress as I go along. I find that it helps to keep me accountable if I'm posting things online. So, if you're interested in seeing what I'm up to, hop on over to chadcburnett.com. There's a link at the top titled "Current Projects". At this writing, there really isn't anything there, but it will be updated regularly.

To those that have visited here regularly - or irregularly - thank you. I hope that you enjoyed at least some of what I've done here.

Dragon Pinup - Color


My dragon drawing from the other day got me to thinking that I hadn't ever colored this one, and I had intended to.

Practicing a bit more with the smudge tool.

Smudge Tool Practice


"What is it?" was the question I heard from 4 different people as I was drawing this. The answer is, "Nothing." It's an eye and part of a face. I was really just practicing shading techniques using the smudge tool in Photoshop and liked the results so decided to post it... and yes, this is quite a bit smaller than my usual drawings. Like I said, I was practicing.

Clown on a Wire


We couldn't all be cowboys
Some of us are clowns
And some of us are dancers on the midway
We roam from town to town
I hope that everybody can find a little flame
Me, I say my prayers
Then I just light myself on fire
And I walk out on the wire once again

- Counting Crows, Goodnight Elizabeth
Not as happy with the way this one turned out as I wanted to be. Oh well, you win some and you lose some.

Wandering


All that is gold does not glitter, not all who wander are lost, the old that are strong do not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring, renewed shall be blade that is broken, the crownless again shall be king.

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Baby's First Haircut


I've been thinking lately that what a lot of my drawings lack is narrative. I've got quite a number of portrait and character designs, but a lot of my stuff just isn't telling much of a story. So, I've been trying to add a bit of that into that last few doodles I've posted.

Reach - Completed


Way back in March I did a concept sketch for this. At the time I promised that I had plans for it. Took me a while to get back to it, but here it is. So far, this is my personal favorite.

Really Long Doodle - Part Seven


Well, that was fun! It's kind of sad that today is the only day you'll be able to see the whole set in its entirety.
