Flying Lessons

Clockwork mother bird and chick. The mother bird has one wing held protectively behind the chick and one pointing up. Her shape is vaguely reminiscent of an egg timer, with an egg-shaped body over a semi-pyramidal base. The chick has both wings up excitedly and resembles a pyramid metronome. Both birds have googley eyes. Digital sketch in blue pencil.

Warmup sketch

Groening-style sketch of a guy with bad 80s hair grinning waaaay too big in a very insincere way.

This was alarmingly trivial and quick to draw. I think I start to see now why Matt Groening was so fond of this style.

No idea who this is, mind you. Perhaps a used car salesman.

Brainley's Notebook - Page 41

Brain Comics #182

So to mix things up a little, I'm introducing a new feature: Brainley's Notebook. Here's the skinny: Professor Brainley, like any good scientist, keeps a notebook to record all of his discoveries, inventions, and experiments (and their results.) From time to time, I'll post a highlighted page from his notebooks. And you folks can help me figure out what page to pick.

How to play along: On any post tagged "Brainley's Notebook", reply with a one-word prompt. The next time I feel like posting a notebook page, I'll go through your comments and pick 2-3 words at random, and combine them to figure out which page to drawlook up. I've gone ahead and posted a sample page for today's comic.

S'aright? S'aright.

Random doodle.

Digital drawing in blue pencil. Top hat with bow, three leaves, and a feather as decoration. The leaves are arranged to be slightly lifting off the hat in a haphazard fashion with the feather coming roughly out of the center. Handwritten under it in cursive is the text Ceci n&est pas un plume.
