A while ago Ze Frank created this fun flash app called The Scribbler. At first it seemed like just a fun toy, but I'm now thinking that it can actually be a very useful artist's tool. It can be used to get an idea of where your strengths and weaknesses are in quick sketches. I also think that the sketches it produces could be useful foundations for paintings or other larger works. Here are some quick ones I made using Pose Maniacs images as models.

Here's my very poor attempt at translating a couple of these into watercolor. I think i'll try again this weekend with oils.

Evening at Pop's

Leaf cleanup

These sketches from my window are definitely a reaction to the shock of actually having a window after having spent the last 3 years or so in a windowless cell-type office. An office with a window is an incredible thing. I hope I never have to go back...
