Every day Coraline gets just a little braver. By the weekend I think this little sketch may become reality. So far their only interaction has been a nose bump, Cora accidentally falling on Frances (she didn’t budge) and a couple sniffs. I really am looking forward to them interacting.

Wow, that was a lot of love for yesterday’s sketch. Thank you.

Unfortunately, today I have a lot of computer upgrading to do at work so I can’t follow up accordingly. So instead I’ll just give you a two-fer of sketches I did during our weekly staff meeting yesterday. I’ll try to make up for it tomorrow.

BTW: I’ve been doing a little something extra to the sketches for about a month or so now. Have you noticed? Did you find it? If so let other people in on the secret in the comments.

I received a cool request for a sketch last week but I am still a little too sleep deprived to make it happen this morning. Coraline let me get a little bit more sleep last night but wanted me to get up and play a good hour before my alarm was going to go off.

Anyone out there have a good just-got-a-pet story they feel like sharing?

Allow me to introduce Frances’ little sister, Coraline. As many of you that have been following this blog know, The Wife is a cat person and has wanted another for a long time. We finally found a cat that we both liked and I didn’t have an allergic reaction to. That is the cutie above.

Logan’s owner, Michelle (whose blog some of you mat be interested in) made a request to see Coraline as a Pic of the Week soon. I have obliged.

Any lateness of, or incoherencies in this this post I blame solely on the little bundle of joy using me as a trampoline all night.

I know you are all used to me pimping out other webcomics but today I am going to pimp a different form of web entertainment. Podcasting. Specifically, my buddy Tee’s Dwarven detective stuck in 1920s Chicago, Billibub Baddings. I started listening to the first story via podcast at work last week and it is quite fun. I’m looking forward to getting through all 15 chapters in time for the launch of the second Billibub story next month. If you decide you like it Tee has more work available both via podcast or in print.

Go check him out.

I was much more interested in listening to music this morning than sketching but I refuse to break this streak due to laziness. It’s kind of neat how the influence of researching and doing real illustrations is having on my cartoon style. It seems to me like the more comfortable I get drawing “realistic” people the more stylized my cartoon people get. Cool.

All I did today for inspiration was type in the word pose into google. Among the various questionable images were a few yoga poses so I figured I’d give a little figure drawing a try. Maybe next time I’ll try one of those pretzel-like positions.

Not me myself, I mean drawing one.
