The next one used the Turtle’s head and a new body, that of a rabbit. I continued on from there with the last drawing cycling back to the first one.

Here’s Charley Brown, Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock as wrestlers. Just a fun sketch. Done with apologies and respect to Charles “Sparky” Schulz.

I have been trying to get better at more realistic figures. Using the Glen Vilppu drawing manual techniques. I find the techniques make it easier to get figures down then other methods. I know the muscles are off, but I really like the spidy drawing all the same.

Spiderman is fun to draw since he can take any positions, weird positions, like having his legs wrap around his head.

Spiderman and other heroes are © Marvel.

Continue reading »]]> These are some drawings I did the other day (Jan 3). I have a file of clippings, postcards, ad’s etc. That I like to pull stuff out and draw from. I believe that it helps ad new idea and images into the old brain, and it can sometimes lead to new ideas.

Here I started drawing a guy from a 50′s ad. Then a postcard of a caveman.

I then I would use the reference of the cave-man and of someone dressed as a superhero to get the drawing below. From there I just started making up stuff.

While the faces are a bit loped sided, I thought the likenesses where coming through, so I decided to draw some Caricatures. I was inspired by the amazing Caricaturist Zach Trenholm, who did a drawing of my at the NCS Christmas party.

Some are celebrities, some are not. You be the judge.
