I was half tempted to add a gun aiming toward the viewer because it looks like it would fit. I’d probably throw a holster on his waist as well. If you can imagine it like I can, the idea has the potential to look pretty cool. Despite the fact that an owl has zero fingers, you know, fingers that would be required to fire the gun. I’m quite positive he’ll stay this way though.  I’ll keep that “bounty hunter furry/feathery/slimey animal” idea in my back pocket for later 😉

Well, it’s officially 21 minutes after midnight. I had another busy day today, including some company visiting to watch a Christmas movie (Scrooged!) and it was fantastic. We also watched a hockey game, and did whatever. I knew I was going to get my drawing done, it would just end up being pretty late!

Anyways, this hamster turned out terrific. It’s not of my own design exactly, but rather from (once again) that manga drawing book my niece, Amber, let me borrow the other day. It’s wonderful! So many awesome pictures of interesting characters. Not all of them are cute and cuddly, but there isn’t a single character in that entire book that I DON’T want to draw! As long as I stay in the mood to draw from this book, I’m going to keep on doing it. I’m learning so much!

I’ve always been pretty good at designing my own faces and heads, but limbs and body structure I haven’t really practiced. I know if I do it enough I’ll get good at it. So that means that eventually I’ll have my characters for that fake comic book I was writing! Um… only problem is they’ll all be woodland creatures…

I was a little out of my comfort zone today as I decided to attempt to draw an adorable kitty cat. My niece, Amber, let me borrow one of her drawing books and it’s all about adorable animals. This book even has some interesting Photoshop techniques for coloring characters. I’m definitely going to be going through more of this book in the days to come.

I think my first character turned out alright. There are lots of little bits that are messy and need work, but it’s getting late and I’m extremely tired. I had a pretty busy day and my drawing had to wait until the evening. I’m pretty sure I’ll stay quite busy since it’s the holidays, but I’ll always find time to post a new drawing! Hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday season.
