Totem Pole

This is one was done almost a year-and-a-half ago when we were visiting Seattle. I sketched the Pioneer Square totem pole from top to bottom and found that I couldn't fit the entire thing on one Z22 page, so I continued the sketch on the next page.

A few minutes later, I did one of my favorite sketches of my wife at a cafe near this totem pole but I somehow deleted it on the flight home. D'oh!

Next time: A brand new doodle, I promise!

I Can't Sleep

Here's another Z22 sketch. This is my daughter at maybe four months old, sitting in her car seat with an Ugly Doll.

Guitar Practice

I'm still way behind in my sketching for Doodle Du Jour, but I want start posting something everyday, even if it's something old-ish. Here's a sketch I did about a year ago of my wife practicing her guitar.

It was done using a Palm Z22, a cheap handheld PDA. I have to say, there's something liberating about drawing with a primitive single-bit tool; just like with the Magna Doodle, I can just have fun with it and not worry at all about making mistakes. Also, the tiny size of the device makes it very convenient for sketching on-the-go.

I'll post a few more Z22 sketches this week.

The Cintiq is pretty cool but lately I've been having more fun sketching with my daughter's Magna Doodle.

Cintiq Test

Sigh! I've been away too long, but between the baby and my 'day job' at Rhythm & Hues, Doodle Du Jour had to sit on the shelf for a while.

Anyway, this sketch is just some random doodles I did to test my new Cintiq 12WX, a graphics tablet with an LCD screen you can draw on.

This is actually more of a 'commissioned drawing' than a doodle (drawn upon a request by my aunt, who raises foxes and is an avid cyclist). But since it IS my first drawing in a couple of months, I figured I'd post it here, for the Doodlebot.

.. a bit more than 'just' a doodle; but too funny not to share. ^_^
