Sorry, I just don't seem to have a punchline to live up to the setup, but I'm open to suggestions!
Right, so today was the first Sketchcrawl of 2009. I think it's the 21st or so. Anyway, I must admit that the camel...uh...feet were drawn the night before.
I needed to keep up with the Moly datebook, so the next sketch was the orangutan. I seem to have an animal theme going—still due to the Wildlife Federation. Her eyes are googly, and her nose is askew, but I think I nailed the overall impression of sweetness.
I fully intended to wander town making sketches in response to the first Sketchcrawl of the year, but we got about 7 inches of snow, so after shoveling, I'd had it with the snowy waste. As fortune would have it, my Entertainment Weakly...I mean Weekly, came in the mail, so...
Allow me to introduce Mr. Tommy Lee Jones missing part of the top of his head, and with an odd augmentation due to a torn piece of my sketchbook. Also, please disregard the underlying sketch, it was a sketch-gone-wrong, and I sought to save the page...not knowing it would turn into something I wished to share. Best laid plans and all that, you know.
And then I must apologize for this sketch of emma Thompson. It went terribly wrong. I think she actually acquired the forehead I stole from Mr. Jones—the greatest tragedy known to man, I'm sure.
Well, thanks so much for stopping by!

You're incredibly brave to draw human faces - particularly those of famous people. They're so hard to get right. Having said that, I recognized TLJ right away. I love the orang's baby face! Nice capture. As for the camel's feet, are you sure they're not an ostrich's?
P.S. watch the snow shoveling - don't hurt yourself!
An ostrich's? Hadn't occurred to me until you mentioned it. Perhaps they are...hmmm...
Come to think of it, doesn't an ostrich have one, big toe and nail? Guess it's been too many years since I rode a camel. I don't remember their toes being so pointed. Maybe it's those darn stilettos they insist on wearing! They're not good for any girl's feet!!
LOL!
