Abraham Lincoln Gettysburg Address illustration

This is my entry for this week’s Illustration Friday word of the week. The word of the week is, “capable”. For some reason, President Abraham Lincoln comes to mind when I think of that word. He unquestionably was capable of creating a memorable speech. In this composition, I plagiarized freely from myself, a common practice among deadline-pressed illustrators. I used a sketch of Abraham Lincoln from an earlier drawing of mine and modified the sketch. I added the audience behind our capable 16th President.

This is my entry for this week’s Illustration Friday word of the week. The word of the week is, “fluid”. I created an underwater tea party. Included in the underwater festivities is Aquaman. I like Aquaman. He can breathe underwater and converse with fish. Aquaman was my favorite superhero when I was especially young. Here is an Aquaman fact, the amazing king of Atlantis has been around since 1941. I have a sinking suspicion that Spongebob is somehow related to him.

Character sketches just for the sake of sketching

Some character sketches I created on sheets of typing paper during one of my late night teacher education classes. Started off sketching people in class and eventually made up faces after a few drawings. These are sketches for the unadulterated sake of sketching.
