#31 Cat close-up

Posted on May 30, 2011 by Paul Debraski

I saw a photo of a cat in a magazine today and it was very very close-up.  It was so close it actually took a moment to realize what it was.  It looked an awful lot like this. (drawn 6/14)

I wanted to explore some of the techniques I had been using with shading.  It seemed like a fun idea to use the two colors for better distinction. (drawn 6/14)

#27 Desktop Tableaux

Posted on May 26, 2011 by Paul Debraski

I looked down on my desk and saw an arm grabbing a hippo.  I realized that when you keep picking up toys and other things and putting them on your desk, you get some funky images.  (drawn 6/7)

#26 Hello my baby…

Posted on May 25, 2011 by Paul Debraski

I saw a cute cartoon animal and decided to draw a cute stereotypical cartoon.  This quick sketch indicates that I cannot.  I chose Michigan J. Frog for no particular reason.

#25 Lamb at the Ethiopian Restaurant

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Paul Debraski

Whenever I go to Book Expo America in New York, I sneak out for lunch at the Queen of Sheba Ethiopian restaurant.  I lobe eating with no silverware.  And the food is yum-my!

#24 Camel Thorn Trees

Posted on May 23, 2011 by Paul Debraski

There is an amazing picture in June’s National Geographic magazine of these trees.  It looks like this (only much better) and it is a photograph, not a painting.  It is really amazing. Check it out.
