nadriel is taking me to see Dark Knight later. Yaaayy! I wouldn't be able to see it otherwise, due to the low funds.
Oh, if any of you draw comics, you should check this out. It's a cultural comics exchange program with Japan. The winner gets to go to Tokyo to collaborate with Japanese comic book artists.

Date: 2008-07-29 10:23 pm (UTC)I also remembered another set of books for children that heavily feature bird illustrations. Local author John Cleave and his Gulley books - thegullery.co.uk if you can excuse the 100% flash website. It looks like he's gone all out and made as much spin-off merchandise from it as possible! Maybe you could venture into the realm of Potoo tea towels.
The drawing where he's looking at the frog is slightly biologically incorrect if his eyes are on the side of his head. If he was examining it closely he'd be looking at it side on rather than head on. However, that wouldn't work as clearly as the way you've done it and it looks like he's more startled than anything else. I'll have to read the story to understand its context.

Date: 2008-07-29 11:16 pm (UTC)I've also been trying to teach myself to draw, but not having much luck there. Kinda sucks considering I have some comic projects I want to work on down the road.
Anyways, sweet artwork! Looking forward to seeing more. :)

Regarding drawing, have you taken any life drawing classes? They really help.
Aimee Major's excercises here proved valuable to me too:
