Drawgust 2021 – Drawing 10

Martin · 2 years

Continuing this week's theme of single color use, here's my tenth illustration for Drawgust, featuring a jewel thief narrowly avoiding the beam of a security guard's flashlight.

It's not my favorite drawing from this series, but I had been wanting to do one with blue and black shadows and a beam of light, so this fit the bill. I'll be back with another tomorrow!

Should have taken a picture

Martin · 2 years

I ran out of the house, then bounded back in. I ran past exposed bricks, white plaster, and a wall of stacked rocks, all lit by a bright sun. I looked up and saw something turquoise - a roof? The ground below was a red-orange terra cotta.

As I ducked into the doorway, I thought: "I should take some pictures of this place!"

Then I woke up from my dream. For an instant, I was mad that I didn't take pictures. Then I was mad at myself for thinking that would have helped me remember.

Drawgust 2021 – Drawing 6

Martin · 2 years

Today's Drawgust illustration is a boy sitting on a swing, looking out over a vast, fantastical valley.

Originally, I set out on this project to just make a collection of cartoons, to serve as potential inspiration for this year's Chalk It Up festival, but I've been venturing into more complicated images now, so maybe a course-correction is in order? I don't know... I've been enjoying the practice!

We'll see how things go as I start adding color, I guess!
