Illustration of a man and a hostile rose. The caption reads, “Even stopping to smell the roses can be hazardous.”
I drew this sketch last year. Some days. You have to watch those roses. Most have thorns, but I swear some have teeth too!

Cartoon of a boy with a frisbee and a dog. The boy says, “Any dog can catch a frisbee. My goal is to teach you to throw it to me.”
The dog would extra bonus points if he could throw it with his paws.

Monster Sketch Refined
Here’s my refined sketch of the monster. It was necessary to get a more polished sketch before I took it into Adobe Illustrator. While the first sketch was great for the idea. I now needed to build solid shapes.
I wanted the monster to smile. The original had that Bigfoot, deer-in-the-headlights look. Instead of a row of jagged teeth, I though fangs would give him a fighting chance in the wild. I also wanted to show some modeling to the body. The back arm needed to be behind the body. I also needed to make a break between the body and the back leg. The figure is now moving from being a hairy blob to something with structure.
Some of these things are personal preferences. Others are details I want to resolve before I take it into Illustrator. I wanted the arms and legs to be separate just in case I wanted to animate it later. That’s one of the great things about Illustrator is that it works well with Adobe Flash.
