Trying to get back into the groove
I’ve been doing a little bit more sketching, mostly thanks to the prodding of my friends. I’ve been focusing on the fun cartoony stuff, because I just can’t stop being amazed by these people that are so damn good at it. The one I’ve been fawning over recently is Chris Sanders, the guy who came up with the style and story for Lilo & Stitch. He has an adorable little webcomic called Kiskaloo, and the cute is just about killing me!
Anyway, in this first page you can see the naked chick is very much inspired by him.
Though I’m also really fond of the random heads I have up there too. I love the Inuit-esque dude, with his cute round face and pudgy cheeks! drawing him was a lot of fun. Then just to contrast I had to draw the elongated, pointy-eared elf guy. Haha, so much fun.
The inked chick with the pointy hair was done first, and Dennis said he liked her so I slapped some colour on her in photoshop:
The hair isn’t blue, by the way, it’s black; I was just remembering Archie comics and their tendency to colour the highlights in Veronica’s hair blue. Well, I guess using grey would make her look like an old lady…
And yes, the colouring is horrible, and yes, I did use the dodge/burn tool like a rabid ten-year old. What can I say, I’m lazy. I really have to kick that up and stop being such a flake. Maybe I’ll try colouring it again sometime, make it look a little less elementary. 
The next page is really just a bunch of random scribbles, not much to share.
Yeah, some random people, a bad drawing of Mickey Mouse, and… omigod, the lolwut pear!!
Haha… no, I don’t know what I was on. And the biting pear (or lolwut pear) is actually the original creation of Ursula Vernon. It was originally called The Biting pear of Salamanca and was a part of her Weird Fruit series. It was just taken (or “borrowed” if you like!) by people like those from 4chan, and now it has a crazy internet life and is used for protesting scientology and all other crazy things… wow.
Anyway, I wanted to draw round, cartoony blobby things, and the biting pear was the first thing that popped into my head. I like the one of it lounging on the piano; I was going to give it a feather boa, but thought that would just look too silly. But yeah, all credit for those go to Ursula, not to me. They are stupidly fun to draw.
Right. That’s all I have to share. I do have a few other rather failed sketches of creature and stuff; trying to come up with a pose I could use on The Totem Lands. I haven’t spent much time there yet, but it looks like a lot of fun. We’ll see what happens.
