Some Updates of Sorts

First, since I had a couple of students not make it to my last class, I inked their pictures for a little practice.

Second, some of the sketches I doodled up during the slow minutes at work.

I look forward to posting more soon and at sooner intervals.

Namaste,

Sorry for the wait. . .

But I am finally back with another update, and this one's a doozy.

First off, I completed all the drawings for the chittlins in my class. Our last class is tomorrow and, while it does sadden me, I'm happy that I apparently did a good enough job to get re-enlisted to teach the class in the spring. Woo!

Beginning, I've got my second attempt at Ang from Avatar, this time looking much younger and much less intense.

Second, Timmy Turner riding a dinosaur because, well, that's what I would wish for.

Third, Danny Phantom.

Fourth, Sasha from Bratz, specifically the Pixie Power edition. Or something. I dunno.

Fifth, Chowder. . .because he's just fucking rad.

Sixth, one of my student's own characters, SuperPup!

And finally, my most random request, the Virgin Mary? I dunno. . .again.


Next, I have three characters I conjured up for my previous class.

A little wizard girl, sorry for the odd cropping, I didn't much feel like doing a piece together operation with the scanner.

A very bored girl with long hair.

And finally, a crazed chef.


To finish up this update, a quick little thing I did for Drawingboard.org for their public domain Jam. I present, The Blue Bolt.


Namaste,

After Class Aftermath

The title makes this sound far more serious than it is. Class was a success today, whoop whoop, with the idea of giving the kids a basic frame and having them fill in the details keeping all those adorable rapscallions under control. While they worked, I spent most of my time answering individual questions, such as how one goes about drawing eyes, or ears, or angry faces. I'm definitely looking forward to trying this out again next week.

During my time of wandering around the classroom, giving feedback and answering questions, I took it upon myself to doodle on the dry erase board. And guess what. . .you get to see it!! Isn't that a treat!!!. . . .yeah I know, not really.

First off, my desert cat in search of the mighty moon worm.

Second, after one of the chittlins asked how to draw angry eyes, I gave him the whole shebang, angry eyes, angry mouth, angry fist of destruction!

And finally, a girl whose expression captures my emotions about the absurdity behind the idea of one of the little girls in my class: What if America's Next Top Model featured Cats and not Catty bitches (my words not her's) ?

Odd yes, but the true oddity was this girl walking back and forth across the classroom, sassing it up as a runway model and meowing like a cat. I know. Aren't children precious?

Namaste,
Jon Jones
