Sitting in Lee’s kitchen going over some drawings we did a couple hours ago. I used a fat black marker to make some random sketches of what ended up being a snake like reptile with two big arms and a dinosaur thing in back. I went over it with watercolor pencil for general coloring and Lee cleaned it up. After that I began work on a spider which quickly evolved into a detailed view of her cactus flea. She has yet to color that and I already completed another creature we talked about, the sky worm–think of a whale / jellyfish / slug / hippo / manta ray / totoro. All of these have a sort of caricature look to it instead of the cutout style we set out to do this afternoon while eating yummy sandwiches in the car. It’s getting late. Here is what we have so far.
