These are fantastic Mel. I particularly like the page of simple gestural drawings - very expressive.

always inspiring.
I'm really drawn to the page of birds

Ha ha! I like the guy walking proud and the guy running with his hands in the air like he's trying to scare someone. They remind me of the old Looney Tunes.

I know the feeling with having something that I really honestly want to do, and at times feel like I should do, but I just can't bring myself to do it. One thing that really works for me is to tell myself I'm absolutely not going to work on it tonight. Tonight I'm gonna chill and be 100% unproductive. And tomorrow night I'll revisit the project.

In other words, you're your greatest source of pressure. Relax.

Richard Oud said...

Oh yeah! What an awesome update.. I love the bird designs, but the bugs poses are by far my favorite! So much life and attitude in it... I'm so jealous of your drawing skills.

Keep rocking Mel.. and thanks for all your kind words!

S.T. Lewis said...

Wow, man! I love the gestures... tons of life and motion. You're amazing.

Joe said...

That square jawed chap is super cool. I wish I had a perfectly square chin.

Keath said...

with doodles this sweet, I do believe I'm just fine with all the posts continuing this way :)

JOE said...

MEL!!! Hey nothing wrong with keepin it sharp. Animation is great but you really need a driving factor to complete those type of tasks. Future employment opportunity, or school project. Right now you are settling in on a nice gig. Just keep those sketches comin!

Xelu said...

Your personal style is very recognizable.
Congratulations it is a great work.
HUlk and the panther are fantastic.

Suck is the last word to describe what you do. You rock my friend and so does your artwork.

Shawn Escott said...
