Relatively quiet days at school despite the welcoming ceremony and other odds and end prep work... when one of the English teachers asks me if I'm any good at drawing. Considering it's been about, jesus-really?- 12 years since I've put pencil to pad for anything more complicated than a smiley face.
Never had any real talent to speak of, but nobody grows up reading comics and doesn't try his hand at drawing at least a little bit. I got to the point in college where, while I certainly couldn't create much original, I could reproduce a pic from photos in a "not horribly bad" kinda way.
So anyways, one of the other English teachers wanted to see if I could do a cartoon of him that he could use in an intro sheet to his new homeroom class.

First pass on the left, positively scary looking, but he needed it facing the other way, so I did the one on the right. The sad thing is that the one on the right I was trying to make look like the one on the left... hmm... not particularly talent-rich, but I got a kick outta doing it.
The finished product...

ha ha. i have no talent to speak of but i still judge. the one on the left looks like one of those bad 1970's vampire movies. or am i confusing that with bad 1970's porn w/ a vampire??
ReplyDeleteCute!! It's funny...the right one's height is prob more appropriate for him, but the left's expression is DEF him! ;)
