sketchbook #4 (2018-2019)

I forgot to mention another thing that I loved about this sketchbook. The binding fully opens up so it's very easy to work in. (I hate sketchbooks that keep flopping closed when I'm trying to work.)


Never quite found a version of this that I was fully satisfied with. If you can make out my scribbles and see one of the art supplies listed as "Dora pen", this does not refer to a brand name of art supply. This was a dollar store multi-color ballpoint pen with Dora the Explorer on it. :-) Like all such pens, it died a quick death. Those things never last long.






I drew three different version of Sam Vimes for the "guarded" prompt, but I didn't like any of them, so I ended up doing the doodle of little aliens guarding a fortress. (It bugs me that I didn't do any proper shading or details, but this was a follow-up to failed version that I didn't photograph so this was literally attempted number five at this prompt so I was very ready to give up by this point.

I LOVE THE ALIEN FORTRESS! It feels like a stage in a fun little game.

Thanks! The little aliens were a classic doodle that I used to do in high school. My class notes always ended up with little aliens in the margins.
