I found the moleskin again and I added one more page to it with a quick gesture study with my brush pen. I started the piece just black and white and one tone of grey and for some reason I added color – I am not sure I like it with the color so maybe I will redo with just black and white and one tone of grey.

I than started to doodle and of course my mind went into the direction of alien pin up girls. Maybe I will doodle and sketch more of them. I see a series coming out of this…

I would like to get my skills back up on the tablet. Here is a quick warm up that pays homage to Tex Avery and of course Animaniacs…HELLLOOO NURSE!!!

I am trying to figure out how I want to fill this one up so I started the first page with a self portrait. Don’t ask why I look chubby, but I was in the cartoon style mood which for some reason caused me too look more round than usual. Maybe I will call this series the 3×5 project, not sure.

So I figured an astronaut is in order…but what is he afraid of? What is stalking him in the depths of space…..

Well I had one page left in my moleskin and it was hard to finish it, but I managed. Tomorrow I get to crack open a new moleskin! It always excites me when I get a fresh moleskin. Don’t know what I will plan for with this new one. At least today you get to enjoy the final piece I call Daydreaming.

My favorite part is the hot air ballon in the upper right hand corner. Check out the close up below:
