This is the debut feature of Sketchbook #6 for Flashback Friday, which I drew from June – November 2000.

It looks like I had a slight disturbing interpretation of breasts back in 2000. I won’t even mention the pizza thing.

It’s very rare that I get all mixed media up in my sketchbooks. Back in the day I always wanted to, but Dan Eldon was such a master it’s like why even bother trying. If you are unfamiliar with Dan Eldon, I suggest you click that link to read his wikipedia entry. Then, you should totally buy his awesome book The Journey Is The Destination.

Full disclosure: If you buy it through that link I get a little hookup from amazon. Hey, I’ve got to figure out how to make this blog earn it’s keep around here. Right?

I don’t pull out the old wooden drawing manniquin often, but when I do (at least in 2000) this is what you get.

That’s it folks!
