His eyes are a little close together but being self-critical here.

Honeybee Redraw



An Adobe Illustrator redraw of the initial "Honeybee" type below with little improvements.

Drawing of Jacob

Jacob was painting a truck in Photoshop so I had him sitting still for a bit. I dont think this accurately represents Jacob but is close.... The first real sketch in a long time. No bueno!

Honeybee



Jacob always calls Laila (his little sister) his Honeybee which was the inspiration for this doodle.

More Doodles

Just some doodles done on my to-do list at work. I am finding it an easy tool to get back into drawing more. With 2 kids and home repair lists out the ying-yang it gets difficult to find the time. Doodling will help more time be sought for finished pieces.

More tempra



Jacob and I painted together this evening. I painted these letters, spelling "Jacob", with a large brush and my son's tempra paint. he filled in around the letters which I wasn't expecting but think it turned out great. Inspiration for the image came from Cat Scott. She does some great hand-lettering, which I am now interested in creating some of my own.
