A small collection of random and strange doodles from the ol’ sketch pad.

Cole upped the ante and threw down a pretty impressively soggy elephant. Well, me and my elephants are not going to take this sitting down! (I’m sure glad JP and Mette are too scared to join in).

So, Cole slapped me upside the head with one of his black leather gloves and challenged me to an elephant sketch-off. Take this my friend, WHAM!

Here’s a fellow from a new picture book I’m working on. One moment he’s not too pleased, the next he is!

I love drawing with my daughter. Can you tell which one she drew?

My friend Mindi asked if I ever drew pugs. I realized no, I had never drawn a pug. So I started drawing some. Here is my first pug sketch. Pretty standard. Kind of boring. But drawing things more representationally at first helps me figure out what is defining about it. If that makes any sense.

“I need to Breadwiggify this”, I thought to myself in quotation marks. So  I drew this one.

That looked better, but I wanted to push it further, so I tried making the legs just sort of hang off the frong of him. I also gave him burger bun lips.

I need to loosen up, I thought without quotation marks. So I tried drawing him quicker, looser, more slobbery.

That led to this drawing, where he’s getting nice and lumpy/foldy. Kind of like poorly mashed potatoes in your laundry.

And here’s the final drawing I did. I think he’s cute in a weird puggy kind of way.

I’m trying to decide if I want to make this little guy in 3D. Any encouragement to do so? Or should I just leave him in his expressive, but flat existence?

Make sure to click the image for a zoom, looks better that way. I’m hoping to color this soon. Maybe turn it into a t-shirt or something.

Drew this today for no reason really. I might even do a full color version sometime soon, we’ll see.
