Squirrel Book 6 of 10

In Chapter 5, Rocky and Sylvia are in the trees arguing with an angry black bird.

A cartoon illustration of two squirrels arguing with an angry blackbird.  The blackbird is on a branch in the foreground facing away from the viewer and the squirrels are on a distant branch looking back at him and the viewer.  The blackbird is cawing and the squirrels are chittering back, gesturing in agitation.  They all look angry or annoyed.

Bird Sketch

I think I’ll post some sketches. Here’s one I drew today between turns in a game of Dungeons and Dragons with my husband and daughters.

A sketch of 4 poses of a cartoon bird.

Guy’s Face with Various Expressions — And a Zombie

This was an exercise to practice drawing different expressions on the same character using Adobe Illustrator.  I didn’t bother with shading it, since it was just practice.  

I initially drew these in a completely different order, but arranging them this way seemed to fit them into a narrative.  The second from the last was originally supposed to be a yawn.  I’m not really sure why I turned him into a zombie.  It just sort of happened.

I haven’t really been doing much, what with the holidays and all.  But, it’s back to work.  This is one of the things I worked on today.
