What I was drawing then

I recently pulled out my childhood sketchbooks. It is really funny to look through at what I was drawing then and where I was trying to go. So I thought I would share a couple of pages.

This is the first page in my first sketchbook. I still remember where I was when I made these drawings. In my brother’s day care loft waiting for my mom to finish up a board meeting. One of the dogs was a stuffed animal that was keeping me company. He looked really scared.

Then this is Slick. I remember coming up with her, trying out lots of characters to make a team. Her eyes where part of my style at the time. I figured all of my characters would have eyes shaped like hers.

Crash Test Frogs

I actually made time to color this week’s husband’s choice! I was only mildly influenced by Sheep in a Jeep. Okay I was very influenced. However, my characters are frogs. It seems I love drawing jovial frogs on the fly.

This guy is my favorite. I have decided to name him Schmitty.

Pippi, Alfonso, and Mr. Nilsson

The past week has been catching whatever hours I could to draw this and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I blame my new obsession with Buffy on Dani. Thank you, I love watching this show!

Anyway, the Pippi piece, I think I am going to use it as a new postcard/promo piece. What do you think?
