I have a few behind the scenes doodles for you this week, including one that is a bit of process.
Sometimes I just like drawing characters from stuff I like. Peter Weller as Robocop is a great satirical movie and during the pandemic Mr. Weller got…bored(?) and got his doctorate in art history. I highly recommend following him here on Instagram.

Next is my newest process. I work out ideas in my sketchbook and I used to re-do the drawing on bristol board or similar and ink it. Now, I just scan in the sketchbook drawing and “ink” it digitally. Not as tactile as I like but it is very handy and saves me time. Also, I don’t have as much stuff to store and I can save the paper for actual art to sell. This is the sketch I did for this week’s Friday Thoughts. (See the final drawing HERE.) You can see that even before digital alterations, I go at the drawing with ballpoint and whiteout like a maniac.

And finally, my emotional state most of the time now.

May you have had a restive weekend. I hope you have tomorrow off and enjoy a little more. I also hope you pissed off a magat
