The Sketch Book of El Pollo Diablo

Well,  My new years resolution was not to draw more, But that's what I did. Over the past two weeks I've filled up over half of my sketchbook with January's drawings alone! The months not even over yet!

Lately I've been working on two series of comics. Its unbelievably fun, drawing all sorts of different poses and thinking up new ways to use up a page.....gluing pages together to hide drawings I don't like.... People always ask my "why?" when I do that, and then I feel guilty.

Anyways the first series I did was "The battle of the court jester series" which originated from a doodle on the back of my math homework, it's now the title page. I really didn't mean to draw so much, but I just kept getting ideas, and soon it was like, 21 pages long.

The other series I drew is called "siblings" and it got started when I drew the first two faces in computer sciences class (do I ever do school work?) When I drew the girl, I thought she would be saying something like "ya, what do you want" in a very obnoxious way. Then I decided that the boy and the girl were siblings who's parents were away for the week. The brother had cooked dinner, but the girl decided to eat cereal instead, because she was being what my dad would call a "grumpuss". After that things kind of took off and it became a comic.

Currently I am working on a sort of picture book that is entitled "Somebody's Robert" It will be about my imaginary friend Robert Hipinhopolopolis.
I hope anyone who reads this will like my series, and would appreciate any feedback. And please, don't just say I am a horrible speller. I know.

So, today I figured I would try drawing a crying person, just to see if I could. And this is the result apparently. The weird thing about sobbing people is they always look like their on the verge of laughing.

One thing I like to do with my drawings is write text around them. The only reaction I had to this one was "Don't be emo, kay?"
This picture was harder to draw for me for two reasons, first It was kind of depressing and second when I draw, I have a habit of matching the expression I'm drawing on my own face. Obviously I couldn't do that with this one. Of course I don't always mimic the expression (otherwise I would have done my last picture with my eyes closed).

All in all I'm happy with this picture, though I worry the shadings a little off and makes her face look like it needs to be washed.

I have three new sketches and one new marker picture for you! (or maybe I'm talking to myself?) 

Something about December makes everyone feel tired. Probably why they are always going on about the "Sleeping in heavenly peace". That's why this picture feels a lot more winter-ish to me then the other new one i did of the girl with the winter hat on.

I really had fun drawing this one, I've never drawn anyone sleeping before- oh snap! There is Robert Hipinhopolopolis in the last post! At any rate I've never done a close up of someone sleeping. I'm really proud of my last few sketches, I think I did a good job, though the more i draw the more I realize how inclined I am to draw round faces, perhaps because i have a roundish face myself? This girls face is REALLY round.

Please check my other new drawings under the gallery tab. You can really see how my drawings evolved since there for the most part in chronological order.
If ANYONE reads this please comment, I would like ANY feed back!
