Daily Drawing 10 of 30 Bullet Journal

Daily drawing #10 of 30.
For this one I drew the front page for 2018 in my bullet journal.
My theme for this year is "Buckets". I was looking for a fun way to display that and the whole retro video game approach idea came up.
I like how it turned out. Here is it pre-coloring.

Denver Comic Con 2013

The Denver Comic Con was an absolute blast! This was my second year doing this convention and I've had a tremendous time with it. This year was even better than last year, so I very much look forward to DCC 2014.

Here a shot of my table Friday:
(maybe I should have taken another one at the end of the con...)

I quickly sold out of all Doctor Who stickers and postcards (see RedBubble), so I started making little trading cards with color pencils. They sold quicker than I could make them!...

 

Here's a weeping angel one:

Attempt at Dorctor Who

Are you a Dr. Who fan?
Here is my attempt at making David Tennant into a cartoon.
Done in markers with Photoshop colors:

DON'T BLINK!

Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away,
and don't blink.

Whatever you do, don't blink. GOOD LUCK!

Sketchbook Project 2012 page 11 Finished

Finished page 11 of the Sketchbook Project: that's the Mont Saint Michel in the backdrop, where we're headed next.
This is a somewhat less "serious" illustration compared to the previous two and more in the vain of fun comic book type, which is fine, as it does provide a variety of style and approaches for this little book.

I'll most likely be working on page 10 next, the map page, and choosing my next pictures as we get closer to the Mont Saint Michel.
