Man Vs. Pen

One man's attempt to harness the power of the pen. The pen often wins.

...and really lumpy.

More terrible puns. Also I couldn't find my usual black Sharpie.

[manvspen]

Here's the other (very rough) design I was thinking of. I like the apple-and-fake-viking-helmet look of this one, but goodness it needs a lot of help.

[manvspen]

Been going back to the Sharpie style lately, as well as getting into Homebrewing ciders and meads. The crossed out 'cap' is a genuine mistake, though I think I'll keep it...

Scooby Doo, where are you?

I know, I know. Where the heck are the updates. Truth be told, I'm still sketching, but I am working on getting an updated camera. All the pics you've seen are from my phone, but for some reason the camera function is going kaput. Pics will return shortly, I pinkie-swear.

Sorry I haven't been uploading a lot lately. Been a roller coaster of a month so far. Decided on a Minecraft Skeleton, partly because I needed to practice straight lines, and partly because Creepers are so very overdone. ...yes, I know the arms are mis-matched, and the ribcage is laughably bad. As well as my camera starting to go on the blink.

Something that hit me as being funny this morning. The idea of an x-mas (or Axe-Mass) tree decorated with axes, swords, daggers, a throwing star, and a spear at the tip.

[manvspen]

No excuses on lack of updates. They go up when they go up. Today's was inspired as I got a sketch book and a whole mess of pencils for xmas.

(and reading Howard until 3am...)

[manvspen]

Sorry for the lack of updates. Need to get back to doing this regular-like.

Today's piece is, for lack of a better description, Wilford Brimley in a cowboy hat.

Meanwhile, in 'speed sketching' land, I've drawn the world's worst panto horse.

[manvspen]

Just a quick sketch tonight. The last few days I had been stumped on what to draw. Decided to take my lack of inspiration /as/ inspiration.

[manvspen]

It's a dragon. In a turtleneck. With glasses. Who studied at Cal.

[manvspen]

It's a dragon. In a pram.

[manvspen]

A random idea, a fairy swimming in beer. Though at second glance, it could be tomato soup...

[manvspen]

Kind of like this one. A simple sketch. Yes, I'm aware the bones are all out of order.

[manvspen]

Trying my hand at the female form once again. Finding hands to be the biggest difficulty, still.

[manvspen]

Gotta admit, most Zombies do have the whole 'bed head' thing going...

[manvspen]

Thought I'd get a bit of perspective practice in, as well as being inspired by a recent cleaning fit I had on my 'creative table'.

Don't mind the crude drawings in the drawing itself. It was funnier in my head.
