Daily Drawing: Pirate 3

Here’s faithful lookout Scurvy Morgan scanning the horizon for land or possibly a mermaid. He’s never found a mermaid, but he’s never given up hope.

Happy Good Friday, one a all! I’ll see you back here on Monday.

Daily Drawing: Pirates!

Pirate1

It’s a new month which means a new theme for my daily drawings. After a few months of cute animals, I needed something different. And so, this month shall be full of Pirates! This guy is rather debonair, but they won’t all be this clean cut. Come back tomorrow for another swashbuckler.

Might solve a mystery, or rewrite history…

Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, and other characters copyright Disney.

As I’ve mentioned once or twice before on this blog, a few years ago I was approached with the possibility of drawing Disney’s ducks for comic books. I grew up watching Disney’s Ducktales on TV and reading all the comics I could get my hands on. But I had never tried to seriously draw them until then. And I wasn’t too bad at it. But before I could get my first assignment, the editor I was talking with lost his job and the whole Disney comics line closed down.  Such things happen sometime. (Don’t worry, I landed the Kansas Jayhawk ABC book weeks later, and that worked out pretty well for me.)

But I developed the love of drawing Donald, Uncle Scrooge, and the whole gang of ducks.  So I occasionally start my day with couple sketches of Donald to warm up the ol’ drawing hand before working on my own stuff. And so I decided to put all that practice to good use and draw the Disney ducks in a more finished illustration.

And I think it turned out OK. What do you think?
