tealinHello there, Internet!
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Saturday's Sketchbook - CENTREFOLD! I had all day to draw ... and got two pages done. And only one of them really worth anything. Two sketches from Monstrous Regiment - one of Maladict demonstrating high morale among the troops, and one of Blouse's arrival. The preceeding page has thumbnails for Maladict and a sketch from a photo of a horse and rider. I filled in the front legs of the horse, because they weren't visible in the photo, but that was a bad idea.
Yesterday's Sketchbook - Sundays don't officially count but I included it for consistency, and also because the hand at the top was from Saturday. The rest are people and hands from the choir rehearsing for Easter.
Ooh, Scubbo! - Finally got ahold of my life drawing pad AND remembered to scan it at work, so here's that Blouse thumbnail I'd been trying to recreate.
Life Drawing Madness - Sitting next to my sister at life drawing can sometimes be ... distracting. This was drawn the day after finding out Michael Surrey was possibly back at Disney, and also features Hellboy as Robin Hood, triggered by the disproportionately large right arm I'd drawn.
Heehee.
Interestingly enough, the Decemberists have Patrick O'Brian on their links to varous interests. Is it all connected? And perhaps more frightening ... have they seen 'Round the Bend?
BONUS FEATURE
Aggrevated by the incessant post-Katrina coverage on Morning Edition* I decided to look up something more entertaining and found a nice long interview with The Decemberists, including several songs. It's a good introduction to the band, even though the drums are left out and the drummer is 'playing his lap,' and of course since it's live it's not as polished and perfectly mixed as the CD. But very good, and very entertaining, and they sang 'Eli,' which wins a million points for the host of the show, who requested it.** Click on the red 'Listen' button above the photo if you've got RealPlayer.
*Which I listen to occasionally, now, as the CBC's morning show is very nearly useless when it comes to news ... I used to listen to Morning Edition every day but now that I don't live in the States I don't really feel connected to most of it and, as I said, the neverending Katrina coverage gets old fast.
**Or the band, if they fed the suggestion to him. But they get a million points anyway.

Date: 2006-03-28 07:36 pm (UTC)Wow - he has a really interesting face, but a tough nut to crack, caricature-wise! For starters, that "Gillmore" nose (very astute!) looks quite different straight-on than in profile! Although it could be the lighting...Hmmm...Now I want to give this a try! Anyway, I think yours was quite good, especially from memory - you definitely got that boyish, puckish, good-naturedness quality. I will have to go back and look at your other drawings of him now...
I guess I should be pleased that they play PHC at all on BBC7, although it always bugged me when they edited the shows during pledge drives here in the states (I once called in and told them I'd give them a big fat donation if they'd just play the whole freakin' show, and the program director actually came on the air and ranted for a while about how I didn't understand how anything worked (it was kind of flattering to get that much attention - I wonder if there had been similar complaints?) I mean, one of the draws of the show (if you like it at all) is that it takes its own, sweet, sometimes glacial time, and is just chock full of entertaining little bits - who would want to miss a minute of it?
