day 32

day 31
I've made it a month into the project!
On this post I had the misfortune of doing a sketch of the T-Rex skidding around and my computer crashed before I saved. Argh! I hope this sketch is as strong as the first, but I guess I'll never know.

day 30

I'm nearly a third of the way into the project now. I noticed the blog shows fifty entries at a time, without having to go back to earlier posts. I'm not yet sure if that break will affect the rhythm of the story or not... ( but will most likely let the content drive whatever I decide to do...) But it's something I'm finding myself thinking about a bit now. I'm also kind of feeling my way through a general overall idea as to what'll happen in a general way. It's pretty interesting, just as a process, to see how the this thing is kind of taking a life of it's own.

day 29

day 28

day 27

day 26

Just got in from san Fran AGAIN...it's getting late, but at least I scratched this one out before midnight!

day 25

day 24

As I'm working straight ahead on my hundred days of dinosaurs, I'm starting to form a thought of how it's going to work as a whole piece. I'm finding I have a general concept emerging, but working in this fashion, it's difficult at this point to see how an overall story arc is going to work. It may be too short for a hundred days,...it may go over a hundred days( although I'm wanting to commit to these constraints, since that was my initial concept.) Kinda flying without a net, but I'm having a good time with the project anyway!

day 23

day 22
I started drawing the confrontation between these two dinosaurs last night and had considered using a more obscure horned dinosaur, but opted for the classic triceritops/T-Rex showdown.

day 21

egg eater.

day 20

It's interesting how this project is developing in my mind...it's pretty apparent that the T-Rex is immerging as the dominant villain of the piece...not surprising 'cause he's the coolest ever!

...of course there are other interesting meat-eating antagonists that could be cool, but it's hard to beat the king!

...besides... they're fun to draw.

(...and nobody'd be afraid of an herbivore!)

day 19

I just got back from San Francisco again and wanted to get a drawing up before the end of the day! I'm ahead in my mind a few days as far as what's going to happen... now I just have to catch up with the drawing end!

Day 18
Gus' dining is distracted...

day 17

It's nearing the end of the day and I'm just getting around to posting. It's nice to have a couple sketches ahead when posting these, but I'm a little behind the eight ball now, with no spare sketches!

Day 16

Day 15

I've reached the end of Gus' first day. Thank you everyone for the positive support on this project so far!

Day 14

day 13

Gus looks back from a safe distance.

Day 12.

Gus heads for the fronds! I just got back from San Francisco where I'm teaching a storyboard class at the Academy of Art and I doubt I'll get around to doing another drawing today, but fortunately I'm a day ahead of schedule and have a spare!

day 11.

Gus successfully extricates himself!

I'm at day 10 of my hundred days of dinosaurs! Whew! Ten percent done!

...picking up on Gus struggling to free himself from the jaws of the crocodile mother who scooped him up with her other hatchlings...

Day 9

Day 8.

I spent the last couple of days up in San Francisco so have been neglecting Gus as he's been traveling around in a croc bus with a bunch of her babies. Fortunately for him, mother croc hasn't figured out he's there!...yet...

Here's day number 7.( And from the looks of it I'm wondering if there'll be and eighth day!) If Gus is lucky, he'll return on monday, as I'm out for the weekend.

Good luck with that croc, Gus!

well, I've made it to day 6 of my hundred days of dinosaurs project. I 'm glad I didn't pre-emp the project by committing to a post EVERY day, but I'll do the best I can to keep it going. I wish the post could be modified so that you could scroll down to advance the story, rather than up, but evidently that's not in the cards.

I've been thinking a bit about Gus and am not really sure what kind of dinosaur he is; probably a velociraptor, but I'm open to other ideas from any dinosaur afficianados out there! ....maybe he'll grow into an Allosaurus, who knows?

Day 5

I've made it to day number four! So far so good!

I think I've decided to officially start my hundred days of dinosaurs with Gus' first appearance, so that'll make this day 3!

Now that I've sketched a couple of dinosaurs, I've discovered a bit of a different direction for my hundred days of dinosaurs project. I'm going to follow this little guy named Gus through his adventures in the Jurassic period.

I have no idea where it's going to go, so it'll be a surprise to me too!...hopefully a cohesive one...fingers crossed.

Well I'm up in the middle of the night and thought I'd post another dinosaur sketch.

I'm calling this one 'the birthday'.

I'm only the third day in on a hundred days of dinosaurs and I'm wondering WHAT was I thinking?!!!

I realize how little I really understand about drawing these things, so I'll be showing all my warts on this project, if I ever make it through!

Here's a T-Rex and a Stegasaurus facing off.

Here's another T-Rex. I thought about doing a hundred days of dinosaurs...we'll see how far i make it.

...at least I made it to the second day!

Here's a quick T-Rex for a post today.

Barbarians. I'm getting more interested in this idea,being a huge John Buscema and his awesome Conan work!

Just saw the new Planet of the Apes movie and got inspired to do more simian stuff. There's something strangely compelling about stories of apes and their interaction with man.
So here's a sketch of the King of them all!









Kong!

Here's a quick sketch of Paul Revere I just did.

...he may look a bit more like Ichabod Crane, but I'm posting anyway.

We have been off the every other day sketch for awhile now, hope to get back to it soon. In the meantime, I thought I'd just drop in a quick sketch of a horse. they're so weird and hard to draw, but kindof fun anyway.

The theme today is 'Squaredance.'

oof!

Thanks to everybody whose given the nice feedback I've gotten on my blog. I'm posting a sketch of a creepy ape today...so far there hasn't emerged a theme from those of us doing the every other day drawings, so in the meantime, I thought I'd just post a quik sketch.

The theme of the day is 'Ogre'...a theme evidently not admired by miss Lerew.

The theme today is 'Second hand onion'

This one I'm calling "occupational hazard"

Dave and i just did a couple of noodly drawings...

I'm calling this one 'Waiting on Kirk.'

...yes Diana, ...we're nerds...

Chez Snow...

...the theme today is "Rain."

Happy St. Patrick's Day1

The theme today is 'Leprechaun.'

The theme today is 'BEAR'

...I'm caling this one Blue Barry Bear.

Did a quik sketch of Superman that Ben Balistreri suggested I post. He'd stopped by the office while I was away and drew a separate layer with a spider-man mask over him and a caption that said 'DC sucks, Marvel rules!'

....I left that layer off for the post.

The theme today comes from Jenny Lerew.

'Pride'

Tha daily sketch theme today is 'Earthy.'
....I have no idea what a mole looks like, so here's my best guess...
