Psych-A-Doodle January 1 and 2

I know I haven't completed the 30-day drawing challenge yet, but I have a new project I am going try in addition. The holiday season put the drawing challenge on a little break because I was too busy getting ready for vacation, getting ahead with work, and making gifts for Christmas. For the new year, Laura got me a desk calendar called "Psych-A-Doodle", which gives you a the start of a doodle, and you finish it. On the back of each day gives an analysis of you based on what you doodled. This should be interesting. I'll try and post these a few days at a time instead of daily.

Below is the before and after doodles for Tuesday, January 1 and Wednesday, January 2.

Analysis:

If you doodled a huge hairy mustache on this person's top lip, this shows you're a bold extrovert with a lot to say.

If you added a full head of curly hair, this suggests you are a forceful, sociable, and self-confident person, but you would never harm a hair on anyone's head!

If you doodle includes a big mustache and/or a hat, this implies you have something to hide - something from your past. Wow, that makes you interesting.

Comment:

And the big winner is, I have something to hide! I'll never tell.

Analysis:

If your doodle includes an Abominable Snowman or Yeti, this represents your desire to put a little adventure and mystery into your life. You're a thrill seeker!

If you added more people higher up on the mountain than the existing person, this suggests you are having a hard time keeping up with your friends and/or family's expectations of you. Don't worry, you haven't peaked yet!

If you drew a flag or banner at the top of the mountain, this might mean you want more recognition and praise for your great work and success. You want to flag your good fortune.

Comment:

It appears that my doodle could encompass all 3 analysis'. So apparently I am a thrill-seeking egoist that doesn't live up to people's expectations, sweet!

30-Day Challenge, Day 7: Favorite Word

When I first saw what the challenge was for this day, I was completely confused on why that was part of a drawing challenge. I thought that I would be able to draw the word in a way that represents its meaning, but I decided to just go with this. I also spent a great deal of time trying to think what my favorite word is. I know a lot of people have a word they love to say all the time, but I couldn't think of one for myself. Laura suggested this word to me, and I realized I did like this word. It's fun to say, it's good to eat, and it looks cool with this font. Ever since learning how to draw a 3-dimensional city skyline in 5th grade art class, I have enjoyed trying to draw something similar as often as I can.

30-Day Challenge, Day 6: Favorite Book Character (Can't Be a Movie)

I had a lot of trouble thinking of what to draw for this challenge. It seems like they make movies out of every book nowadays, so I had slim pickings. I realized after I drew this that I should have gone with Calvin & Hobbes, but oh well. I drew for this challenge Br'er Bear, the Disney Character of Magic Kingdoms Splash Mountain. Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox were originally part of a folklore from Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings: The Folklore of the Old Plantation from 1818. Disney later animated the characters and made them into a the characters of their famous ride. They have been in television, but not in movies, so I technically am okay!

30-Day Challenge, Day 4: Favorite Place

I know my last 2 posts are out of order, but this post took me a bit longer time to think about, and I wanted to keep my posting up. In thinking about my favorite place, I thought about specific places first that I have enjoyed: restaurants, theme parks, stadiums, bars, etc.; but none of them felt like my favorite place in my gut. Then I thought about places that make me most at peace. My determination on my favorite place is not a specific place, it is the mountains. I started out being specific with the White Mountains in NH, but then I recalled my time spent in the Rockies a few times, and I felt the same way. I enjoy everything about the mountains, any and all mountains. The mountains are extremely peaceful to me, comforting, and fun. I enjoy relaxing out on a lake, hiking in the woods, climbing rocks, or snowboarding down. The wildlife in the mountains is great, and the smell of the woods is one of my favorites. Sometimes I feel I was some nomadic explorer in a previous life, because that's what I wish I was now!

30-Day Challenge, Day 5: Best Friend

I know I said that I was going to post every Monday-Wednesday-Friday, but I tried. I was just having too much fun this past weekend that I didn't have much time. I also realize that I skipped Day 4, but I am still working on it, and should have it posted for Thursday. So here is my posting for Day 5, my best friend being Charlie Brown! I thought this was the least controversial pick, and he's so cute that no one can argue with me.

30-Day Challenge, Day 3: Favorite Food

I thought I would make this drawing more of a story. Let's see if you can figure out what my favorite food is..

It's MACARONI-AND-CHEESE!!

30-Day Challenge, Day 2: Favorite Animal

My life and personality has been pretty consistent over the years, but nothing has been more consistent for me than my favorite animal being a Tiger. I enjoyed drawing this, I think it came out pretty good.

30-day Challenge, Day 1: Yourself

Without further adieu, here is Post #1 for the 30-day challenge. I plan on posting Monday-Wednesday-Friday for this challenge. And apparently I am yellow...

30-Day Drawing Challenge

Inspired by my friends 30 Day Photography Challenge, I am starting a 30-day drawing challenge. I am hoping this will help me make some extra time for drawing, or to use the time I have now differently. It will be difficult to complete a drawing a day with my work schedule, but I am hoping to do them as often as possible. Here is the challenge:

Attempted 3-D Drawing

I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I've been working so much since moving down to Georgia that I haven't had much energy to do much else. Hopefully I have figured out a better routine to be able to have time to make these again. Here is a "3-D" picture I tried drawing. It looks better on the actual copy, but oh well.

When I Grow Up

Well, my birthday was on Tuesday, and I had an idea to post several drawings throughout the month of April about myself. Not in a conceited way, but in fun comical ways. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to produce the drawings I had thought of. I did draw one that inspired this thought, and here it is.

When I was a kid, I loved dinosaurs. Jurassic Park was my favorite movie (it still could be...), and Alan Grant really made me want to dig up dinosaur bones. All growing up, I wanted to be an Archaeologist!

Super Bowl 46

In anticipation of this weekends big game, I put this little number together. Hope all my Patriots friends enjoy this one!

Today at Work

This is how I feel today at work.

Nanas Grandkids

This is a the gift I gave my nana in draft form. It was a caricature of all her grandkids.

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer

With Christmas around the corner, danger is everywhere...

A La Google: Halloween

I haven't posted in awhile, but here is something I put together last night. With a bunch of towns postponing (and even CANCELING!) Halloween, I think it is still acceptable for me to be posting this 2 days late. Happy Halloween!

Wok It Out

Math Comedy

I hope people get this.

No Firearms

Bee Friends

The Kool-Aid Collection is going to take a little hiatus.  I wasn't able to keep up with the drawings as quickly as I thought I would be able to.  In the meantime...
