Robo-Sketch!!

In my continuing quest to keep drawing while coaching what had to be the single most dismal wrestling season I'd ever been a part of, the guys at the Sketchyscribbles blog were (as they've always been) a lifeline!! Right on time, they announce d a new round. This time it was Robots.


Robots? I can do robots. (Okay, this one kinda just shot out of my head, and now I'm wondering if I've seen too many robots in my life. Now it looks like a hodge-podge of every Robotech Mech I've ever seen, Marvin from the "Hitchhiker's Guide" movie, and a dash of C3p0.) I ruined a corncob pipe while I was doodlin' this rascal...

And the Sidekicks just keep on comin...!

Having started the eleventh Sketchyscribbles round with the first Sidekick drawing, I felut I had to do at least one more. I won't be surprised if people have to look this up on Wiki and Youtube...

Back when I as a kid, Sid & Marty Kroft used to have these wonky old seventies shorts (H.R. Puffinstuff and "Land of the Lost" were the two most popular.) One of the shows I remembered was a knock-off of the old 60's Batman show, Electra-Woman and Dyna-Girl. Electra-Woman was the main hero, and Dyna-Girl here was her teen jailbait sidekick!!

(Okay, I confess this is true "Old School" here. Heaven help you if you can remember this, because it means that, like me, you're as old as dirt...!)

Lord love a Sidekick...

Having hit a lull around the holiday season, BRP sent out a call for new sketch ideas for our blog group. And as the guy who opened his yap and suggest that the Sketchyscribbles blog mob do a round on sidekicks, it was up to me to start the ball rolling. My first contribution was one of my all-time favorite literary characters, the incredibly ordinary RON WEASLEY (aka, the guy standing next to the Boy-Who-Lived for 10 years and 7 books!)


This sketch is mostly done in Prismacolor marker and colored pencil, with a touch of Photoshop in the BG.
