Did some Firefly drawing this past week. These took far to long to draw and a few of them turned out less awesome than I had been hoping. I think I've been out of practice for too long (my normal sketchbook? untouched in MONTHS). Well, part of what I intend to rectify the next few weeks...

All the ATC cards I made this year (yes, my sketchbook is feeling neglected now, ha). It is mostly Babylon 5 and Labyrinth, with a few other movies/shows I was watching thrown in.

As you can see, I learned about halfway through that it is easier to draw them BEFORE they are cut up rather than after.

And yeah, this was WAY too much fun-! :)

An Entire Sketchbook v2 – 2 of 2

I just finished another sketchbook! I am still using the ratty 5x7 moleskine variety. It's just less commitment. :P

These are still mostly drawn from TV, although since I moved I no longer have a Tivo, so I am having to do more DVD (which sucks on apple - they may make great software on the whole but frontrow + mac remote is THE WORST way to navigate a dvd. Seriously, Steve Jobs, IT SUCKS!).

Most of the drawings represent shows I love and watch repeatedly, but I'm just going to call out The Painted Veil as the worst bit of romantic drivel ever made. It is so incredibly bad that the Bronte sisters would have liked it.

An Entire Sketchbook – 3 of 3

I just filled up my sketchbook. It was a 5X7" cheap-o brown moleskine. I think for my next one I will upgrade to the real moleskine - hopefully it has nicer paper :)

Most of the drawings are from paused TV (a few internet or magazine thrown in). Please don't assume I like a show because I drew it - ha! I just took whatever was on at the time.

None of the drawings has been removed except for the occasional personal doodle, so you can see my mistakes alongside my (much rarer) successes.
