NEW gum wrapper drawings

Here's some of my newer gum wrappers, from late 2009. As always, you can click for a larger image, but these won't be SO huge like the earlier ones, as I had to scan at a lower resolution. Which is probably better. Any questions?

First wrapper I drew after taking a month
or so off - sketchers block, as it were. I like this deer.

This is of a painting I've been slowly working on
for months - this sketch shows what I want
the final colors to be, so I've been using it as a guide.

It seemed like I should have thought of this
one a long time ago, seeing as these are Orbit wrappers

I like lamp(s).

This is a modified version of a Koch Snowflake, and
is also the 2nd longest I've spent ever doing one of
these drawings - I tried to make it as precise as possible
using only a college rule notebook and some pens. The
smallest triangles should be exactly 3mm on each side.

This is UC-Denver Medical School's seal -
I drew a couple of these to send off as thank you
letters to my interviewers there.

I like cross-stitch type designs, so I doodled one.
Good story, huh!

Twelve More Wrappers!

A whole bunch of the 'lost' gum wrappers I had on my laptop, including several of my favorites:

"The Tree"

Probably my favorite colored-pencil design,
and the one I spent the most time coloring.

"Mislabel Original"
An exact copy of a fox design I had in
my little notebook. This is my favorite
of my designs to sketch.

"Mislabel - clean"
What the name says.

"Mislabel - 1"
This is the first of the truly mislabels -
I still really like the idea.

"Mislabel - 2"
I prefer both the lettering and the fox
in this one over the "Mislabel - 1"

"Lighthouse"
The first design I colored in. Also, a very rough
and early example of the wave-pattern I use for
other, non-gum wrapper seascapes.

"Telephone"
My family has a rotary phone like this set up
in our sitting room, that I use whenever I'm there.

"Piggy"
So, it turns out that the cinnamon Orbit gum
stains the wrapper pink, letting you only draw
pink things on it. Hence, a pig.

"Hands Recursion"
Based on a sketch I did in physics several years ago.
It looked a bit cooler when I was actually drawing it,
what with the 3rd hand and all.

"Lava Lamp"
I like the shading on the wax. No other comments.

"Jimmy the St. Pat's Eggplant"
I wanted to draw an eggplant, and I wanted
to try and draw a vest. Together, they're better.

"Gamboy Original"
I think this was the 3rd sketch I did on
gum wrappers. I also still have my Gamboy,
in working condition!

MORE GUM WRAPPERS!

WOW. I completely forgot to get these gum wrappers correctly saved on my computer. I was wondering why it seemed like I had missed a few in my earlier posts ... Anyway, here's about 1/2 of the "missing" gum wrappers, I'll put the other ones up Monday sometime.

"Emoticon-Man"
This one makes me :D

"ZOMBIES!"
I only regret not adding more green to the skin.

"The Brain"
Based off a sketch in my anatomy notebook.

"Control Board"
Little sketch of the KMNR control board

"Mini - rough"
This was a practice sketch for another drawing
that I never actually got started on.

"Desktop"
I drew the book, felt really good about it,
and then quickly added the background to flesh
it out a bit more.

"Lexography - 1"
Turns out 'Lexographic' isn't a word, it's a portmanteau
that the author of the book I read it in had made up. Damn.

"Lexography - 2"
I like the first one more.

"The Dancers"
Other people have told me they really like this one,
but I spent so much time on it that I just see
all the bits I think I could do better.

"The Sprite"
I have no explination.
