I missed a post yesterday, but not because I didn’t do anything creative: I just made food, not drawings! Sometimes I just make stuff up when I’m cooking & it turns out pretty güd.

After Wombat’s wonderful mac-n-cheese was enjoyed by all, I sat down with some sculpy. After a few minutes without inspiration, I decided to change medium. I really wanted to do some sculpting, but I don’t want to “force it”.

I found myself staring at the wall:

I drew this on Friday, but wasn’t able to get it to you until now.

Earlier this week, I saw an image of Indy which I believe to be during a scene from Last Crusade at Barnett College.  I thought it would make a good challenge for a couple of reasons:

• I have no confidence in drawing human and animal figures, so this was a good image to try to sketch (not trace) to push my envelope a bit; and
• When people think of Indiana Jones, they of course envision something to the effect of this:

• So if I stick to the conventional image of this character (bull whip, fedora, leather jacket, stubble), you could identify him even if I had drawn it with crayon. With my left hand. With my eyes closed.

Well that’s no good. I wanted to push myself to actually capture the person, not their effect. So here’s the image I used:

Not terrible, really. I think I should do more portraits, given this is my first in over a decade.

Sorry I took so long, but I had to learn Flash before you could have any fun with this one.

Here is my crypto-art flash puzzle, Finders Keepers.  Sure it’s no hunt, but I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out: PUZZLE LINK IN NEW WINDOW.
