Longhair Chihuahua Sketch

Posted on Wednesday 27 May 2009

Here are some more sketches of our little dog, these were done while I was sitting on the floor and he  was laying on top of my crossed legs, so here I am trying to sketch him and he is trying to go to sleep.

I think these chihuhua sketches came out pretty good given the short time I spent on them.

I am really liking that HB tombow mono 100 pencil, I think it has become my favorite pencil.

wow look at this, youtube has full episodes of the Sherlock Hound animation.

I have yet to see this, it has been on my “to watch” list, it sure is nice to know they are available online.

There have 26 episodes from season 1

Yesterday my sketch attempt turned into a drawing ;) and I didn’t mind it one bit, as a matter of fact time went by so fast.  I spent about 30mins doing this drawing, the eraser was not used (didn’t have it with me) just tried to figure the angles and then darken the lines and add some more detail.

American Film Institute - 100 Years - 100 Movies

Posted on Friday 24 April 2009

A couple of years ago I came across the American Film Institute list of 100 years 100 movies (PDF), and off an on I have attempted to watch all of them. The list I used apparently has been updated, they now have added new movies including Toy Story.

Back when I added the movies in Netflix not all of them were available but I believe there were about 80+ of them. I watched some when I was younger, so it was nice to be able to watch them again with a greater appreciation for what they have to offer.

Last few movies I have watched are:  The Miracle Worker, A Place in the Sun, Easy Rider, My Fair Lady and Sweet Smell of Success.

If you ever get a chance you may want to watch a few, it is interesting to see how some things just never change, while others do.
