August 21 - and an achievement!


This is the very last sketch in my sketchbook, quite an achievement for me because I have never been able to finish a sketchbook in all the years I've been keeping them. I have dozens and dozens of half finished ones all over the house, on shelves, in boxes, on tables, etc.

This is a sketch of my favorite childhood toy from the early 70s, Coco the monkey. He does look a little creepy here... maybe it's the fact that, like the Velveteen Rabbit, he's pretty worn out! It's also EDM challenge #6, I think; my first official one. A fitting way to end the book, don't you think?

Doesn't seem creepy at all to me. I like the limited color pallette, and the scribbly effect of the lines.
