I’m working on a daily doodle today. Let’s hope I can make it an actual “daily doodle.”

I was thinking about the old cliche, “Hang in there.” Sometimes we’re holding on for dear life when the ground is much closer than we think.

I drew this with a Faber-Castell, Pitt artist pen in my Strathmore sketchbook.

Illustration Friday: Craving

Cartoon: son to dad, “Well school is out for the summer! I don’t know about you, but I’m craving some adventure!”

I’m guessing there are many kids craving adventure this month. Here’s to hoping they have an exciting, and safe summer.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3

Character sketch of a girl in an oversized t-shirt. She has a look of confidence. She has a preteen, “take on the world,” look.

Illustration Friday: Parade


Illustration Friday: Parade, originally uploaded by speartoons.

This is my entry for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “parade.”

The word reminds me of my high school marching band days. We would march in unbearably, hot uniforms in the July 4th, Independence Day parade.

It would have been nice to have someone waving at us. Most times, it seems the band would be stuck behind horses. That made for some fancy footwork.

I drew the finished file in Adobe Photoshop.

A few weeks ago, I drew this set of kids and moms at church.
I liked the expressions of the kids. It’s as if they were nervous because two parents were communicating. Kids get nervous whenever adults band together in the same way parents fear organized kiddie coups.

I drew this in pencil
