#366 Goodbye, Photoshop

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Paul Debraski

Starting tomorrow, I will be beginning my Year Three (it seems sensible to start on May 1 rather than April 30, frankly).  And, in honor of this new year, and my new computer, I am switching drawing programs.  I will be … Continue reading →

#251 Shimmering City

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Paul Debraski

I was trying to play with perspective on this. I drew a scene once before of a city from a high hill.  But I clicked the wrong effect and the city became insane looking.  Not what I wanted at all, … Continue reading →

#313 No Pictures! No Pictures!

Posted on March 8, 2011 by Paul Debraski

Remember when celebrities used to hide from the camera?  I wonder how many rolls of film turned out like this? Actually, I think they really turned out like the picture below, but it makes me a little queasy looking at … Continue reading →

#286 Cymbal Crash

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Paul Debraski

I thought it would be interesting to make a cymbal that was in motion, since cymbals look really cool in the right light.  Of course then I realized that that would be really hard.  So I tried a modified version … Continue reading →

#249 Dubious Promise

Posted on January 3, 2011 by Paul Debraski

I had a number of ideas for tonight (for a change!), but since How I Met Your Mother had an inexplicable countdown in tonight’s episode, I figured I’d continue with the number theme and do this one. About a month … Continue reading →

#194 Tonight’s sky

Posted on November 9, 2010 by Paul Debraski

I’ve down similar drawings to this one.  But tonight’s sky on the ride was so beautiful, and the moon was such a perfect crescent that I felt compelled to do it again. It’s cheating to say this is a drawing … Continue reading →

#158 Sketch (Nap)

Posted on October 4, 2010 by Paul Debraski

This one was finished so quickly I felt compelled to tinker and tinker and tinker and then I went back and deleted it all down to this basic sketch. I was so pleased with  the original outline of the napping … Continue reading →

#146 Baby Penguin

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Paul Debraski

My friend Sandy made a very cool glass penguin in her home glass blowing furnace.  So I thought I’d do a much safer thing and draw one. I’m adding hers below here so you can see how cool a glass-blown … Continue reading →

#142 Silhouette

Posted on September 18, 2010 by Paul Debraski

Sarah’s grandmother had two silhouettes like this (the other one is of a man proposing, I believe). This one never managed to get on the wall, so I wind up staring at it all the time.  I decided it was … Continue reading →

#136 Dragon

Posted on September 12, 2010 by Paul Debraski

This is my first drawing request.  At bedtime Clark asked me to draw a friendly dragon breathing fire and a knight.  So of course, the knight would have to be roasting marshmallows, right?
