Kate Beaton makes drawing Wonder Woman fun.

I copied all these from the excellent Hark, a Vagrant.

Except for this chubby Superman. I stole him from somewhere else.

I found this thing today and filled out the form but I’m not sure if I’m registered.

So, anyway… owls!

I found myself doodling owls a lot last year.

For no good reason.
But now I have a reason, kind of, so I’m drawing more.

I wanted to draw a barn owl.

Sharpie!

Oil pastels!

It came to this.

That last one was inspired by this. Oh, then there was this one.

It’s catching:

Watching this video of Jim Woodring drawing Frank with such care and precision made me realize I need to take more time with some of my characters. This penguin particularly.
