Was digging through some files yesterday and found some older sketches from when I began to draw again a year or so ago, thinking about doing a comic or some kind of creative project. I had a few ideas which I ultimately rejected. Here’s some of that material.
Bird Superhero Character - I had an idea for a bird that was a superhero - kind of a Clark Kent thing going on.
An interesting precursor to Asimov, maybe is this guy HENRI
When my eldest daughter was 4, we did a little project and wrote a children’s book together. I did some drawings of the little girl in the story thinking I would illustrate it. In reality, I want her to do it as a project though.
A more sophisticated version of Captain John?
Lastly, right before I realized I just didn’t have time to pursue animation, I was going to do a short based on this book “Trubloff” I read as a kid, a Russian folk tale about a mouse who plays the Balalaika. So I had done a bunch of drawings of him that I was going to use to build the model. Here’s one.
I kind of like these, I’m glad I’ve learned not to throw stuff away. I had done lots of stuff in college that is long gone now that I wish I still had. Never throw your art away!
