Description
Verithin Dark Brown colored pencil, graphite, and Dewart China White pencil, on Manilla index card. Bought a stack of these cheap large size index cards, and started doodling on them. they take pencil and ink fairly well, and I love the color of them. Kind of old fashioned and discolored looking. I just started dodoling and this fun lighthouse came to be. Looks like something from the POPEYE comic strip. It was fun.UPDATE: 10-10-2011

Another nice piece.
I can't believe you did this on an index card.
WOW!

Yes, and they aren't bad to work on. They will never replace Bristol Board, but for a cheap art material they are well worth it.

I'll have to investigate this next time at at the Wal of Mart. I'm still a slave to Bristol Board, though. It's my first love.

Looks like a scary place for the Scooby gang to investigate! I recognized your style long before I saw the artist!

This is awesome! I like the cartoonish feel of it, and the trees and clouds and birds in the background; very well composed! I love it! Faved!

Very cartoony indeed. Like I said in the description, has a POPEYE flavor to it. Or possibly Disneyland local.

Very cool looking! Kind of like a classic old photo!

Thanks! I was thinking it had an old fashioned illustration look to it. Perhaps an old drawing for a set design for a film. I think I should have been born about 50 or more years before I was. I would have loved to work in the classic Hollywood days. But I would miss my air conditioned truck.
Thansk for the kind words.

How'd you know my cheeks were sweet??? Who told you???
I sat down and did TWO drawings this evening! It felt good to get back in the swing, I haven't drawn anything in weeks! And they were even good enough to post here too, so it all worked out for the best.

You are very talented. <3 I love the way that you were able to draw the lines straight, but not so straight that it looks... well, staged, I guess. xD And I've always admired talented people who can actually shade a picture.

Hey! You are barely a teenager! You can still learn to draw better if you are willing to practice and stay with it. It isn't always easy, but you have your whole life ahead of you. You think I could draw like this when I was your age? Hell No!
But thanks for the kind words!
