Sick as a Dog

Did this one in pen and scanned it in because I'm sick today. The pen I used is a Pentel EnerGel 0.7mm ball, and is my favorite pen to doodle with. The ink in this pen flows so smoothly and is so easy to control. This little scribble doesn't do it justice.

Leading the Way - Sketch

My 200th doodle is coming up soon (for those of you keeping score, this post is number 191). Since I did a color drawing for my 100th, I thought I'd do the same for 200 as well. Since color takes a little longer to do, I thought I'd post my progress in 3 or 4 stages. This is the first stage, a quick sketch that I actually did in pencil rather than using the drawing tablet. The rest of the piece will be done in the normal fashion.

Racoon

This started as a very small sketch in my sketchbook. Scanned the image and blew it up a bit more in order to add details and outlines.

What the... II

I like to draw all kinds of weird creatures. Generally, my technique is to scribble a few lines and then let my imagination take over. That's how I ended up with this guy. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. I imagine it's some sort of alien pack animal, somewhat like a horse. You decide...

Tenaya

This is probably one of the only times I'll do this. This picture is actually a scan from my sketchbook and was done entirely in pencil (graphite "B").

As previously mentioned, we went to Yosemite for a few days. I left the computer at home, but brought my sketchbook. Unfortunately, I didn't get time to do much drawing (too much to see). It's too bad, because if there is one place on earth that is begging to be sketched, it's Yosemite. However, we did spend one lazy day up at Tenaya Lake (swimming and paddling our little inflatable boat about), and I was able to quickly scribble this one out.

Also - if you're interested - it was a wonderful trip. We did a lot of hiking and went to some spots we hadn't been to before. Unfortunately, we have to get back to real life now.
