Drawing in Class

Here are a couple of pics from last week when I stopped by my favorite grandson’s kindergarten class for an hour to sketch some cartoons. I think we ended up with about 10 or 12 sketches after I took requests for a horse, cow, dog, tiger, truck, race car, mermaid, bumblebee, and more.

It was busy that day and I was bumped from my early morning time slot to the hour right before lunch by the Magic Tooth Fairy. Really. She did magic tricks about teeth. So after my first half hour the kids began to get a bit restless, but even so, everyone had a great time.

While I was pulling these stills from the video, I got a very enthusiastic hug and kiss so I guess I must have made a nice memory for Christian.

This is the start for a possible t-shirt design, although I’m still working on the motorcycle to go along with it.

Illustrations

I thought I would share a couple of old pieces of mine from another lifetime and definitely not cartoons. The woman is colored pencil and the boat is watercolor and ink.
