Geddy Lee's head on a bear's body

Philip, it looks like some are done in ink and some are done in charcoal. What media are you using, and how do you choose? Any preferred materials?

I took a local evening drawing class once and was pretty bad at the exercises (still lifes of bottles, blocks and such); this approach looks like more fun.

The ink is just a uniball office gel pen on used printer paper. The DeVito one is on a tablet. I tried buying some fancy pencils but they never made me any better or inspired me to draw more than say those free pencils from ikea, but they're definitely nice to use. I'd say if you want to follow along, you should grab whatever is handy at the time -- the basic rule is to throw out and ignore any obstacle to just cranking out a drawing as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Of course if having your favorite gear at the ready inspires you to draw more, do that!

Excellent work!

A chipmunk next to a mushroom

I'm into this, i did the chipmunk & mushroom one

I don't want to take any thunder away from Philip who started this tho!

Y'know, there's a book I own that follows along these lines of progressing by drawing very, very quickly different subjects (much more banal than here, obviously). It's called Cartooning: Philosophy & Practice. Never got through it, but really should pick it up again - it's excellent.

k, i think i'll just post mine

Someone please draw a melting Empire State Building

Nice chipmunk/mushie combo!

so what is the thought on using reference? i'm thinking like do it if you think it's a good use of some of yr 10 min?

I'm obviously making very liberal use of reference -- given the time constraints, the decision to freehand or reference any part of a drawing becomes very automatic!

that rules

These are amazing

I'm digging Chippy's shades and Hawaiian shirt.

looooool, so much better than what I'd imagined

Someone tripping and falling into a swimming pool

it's funny with the squirrel, i wanted to break things up by putting clothes on him, and the Dale character (with his hawaiian shirt) from Rescue Rangers just comes right out as subconscious shorthand

that last one looks like a Playboy cartoon

Draw the band GWAR playing at a wedding

In retrospect I should have had Slim use the balls as footrests, but I’ll let Kubrick redraw this 1000 times to get it right.

I am in awe

how are you feeling at the 30% mark? are they getting easier or is more like you're getting more efficient so it feels like you have more time?

Feeling a bit like Danny Glover, feeling a bit like Pauly Shore.
I don’t think I’m getting any faster or even better but I definitely feel more confident when starting a drawing that it’s going to be finished.

The drawings are fantastic.

What’s great about the gestational gap before that last one is I forgot I requested it! I it’s amazing! :D

Someone else should do a request, I didn’t mean to hog two in a row!

From Homemade Jokes

I have a homemade Far Side cartoon joke in my head, called something like "Clown Cemetery", which shows a row of burial plots and gravestones, except each plot has a pair of long clown shoes poking out of the earth (because the clowns are buried in their clown shoes, but not deep enough underground, haha?)

you should post the clown cartoon to Drawing Practice: Give me a total of 100 ideas to draw to see if I get any better by the 100th drawing.
