Continuing on with the SKETCHERCSE theme sketch project: the first topic is favorite comic strip character. I did this the very day after we came up with the idea a few weeks ago…my favorite, Calvin & Hobbes! (apologies to Mr Watterson of course!) I usually finish things off with ink, but I really enjoyed knocking this one out with an old beat up school pencil during my lunch break. Maybe it’ll see inks at some point…
Now that I have a son the strip is about to take on a whole new meaning for me! It’s a weird position to be in, because just a few short years ago I still read it from the Calvin “perspective.” Now I look for how his parents respond to his adventures and brace myself for what’s surely coming down the pike!
I get the daily strip in my inbox via ucomics.com and I have just about all the paperback collections. I recently picked up the absolute collection for my “library.” As soon as Jonathan is ready he will inherit them and hopefully they’ll entertain and inspire him as much as they did me!
And here’s the inked version brought to you by none other than Sketch Charlotte’s own Eraklis Petmezas!
