FACES

NINETY FIVE

2009-03-17T23:16:00.000-07:00

Drawing 95: Sketchy face.

NINETY FOUR

2009-03-17T23:15:00.002-07:00

Drawing 94: Obama, kinda?

NINETY THREE

2009-03-15T22:49:00.000-07:00

Drawing 93: Swoop whoop!

NINETY TWO

2009-03-15T22:48:00.002-07:00

Drawing 92: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder???

NINETY ONE

2009-03-15T22:45:00.002-07:00

Drawing 91: Extruding eyeballs are funny. And floppy.

NINETY

2009-03-15T00:40:00.000-07:00

Drawing 90: I think I've finally found "Ethan Style".

EIGHTY NINE

2009-03-14T11:13:00.003-07:00

Drawing 89: This is how I feel when I wake up. My eyelids fuse together overnight, and it's near impossible to open them before 10am.

EIGHTY EIGHT

2009-03-14T01:20:00.004-07:00

Drawing 88: I realize I'm way behind. But I can't force it. Recently, I've been reading more comics and just watched a documentary called "Comicbook Confidential" that's just great. I'm afraid the paper comic world is slowing fading in favour of "motion-comics" and film. I mean, Sam Jackson just signed a 9 film "Nick Fury" deal with Marvel. Marvel has become a movie studio. I haven't set foot in an actual comic book shop in years, let alone purchase anything.

I'm going to strive to create some shorts and try to get them published locally. There are a couple of alternative magazines printed in the Salt Lake area. I think it'd be a good last breath. I doubt the media will be around much longer.

EIGHTY SEVEN

2009-01-05T23:35:00.002-07:00

Drawing 87: This is Druby. He's a gothic character I drew about 4 years ago. He originally had a little black umbrella. Very Tim Burton. I planned on doing something with him, but never hammered anything out. I suppose his tales would be dark. Maybe I'll include him in my series, "The Tales of Thomas Wort" project I'm working on.

EIGHTY SIX

2009-01-05T23:34:00.000-07:00

Drawing 86: Smeh.

EIGHTY FIVE

2008-12-31T20:12:00.001-07:00

Drawing 85: This is my manager, Dustin. He found my drawings blog, and made a request for me to draw him.

This doesn't mean I'll draw you...unless I think you're characterable. (Dustin is an easy characterable person.)

EIGHTY FOUR

2008-12-31T19:59:00.001-07:00

Drawing 84: I know my numbers are off, but according to my blog they're right. Now I have to go back and find where I screwed up to fix it all. So, this is drawing 84.

EIGHTY THREE

2008-12-31T19:58:00.002-07:00

Drawing 83: I like this guy.

EIGHTY ONE

2008-12-30T22:20:00.003-07:00

Drawing 81: This is similar to drawings of past. I think this is an abstraction of my first instinct when I draw a face. I'm generally inclined to draw Homer Simpson. Although the intention of drawing him didn't exist during the process, it certainly reared it's ugly head in the end. I hope I break past that phase. I've been doing that for the last 10 years.

EIGHTY

2008-12-30T22:08:00.005-07:00

Day 80: It's time to get this blog back on track. With school and life getting in the way, I was upset with myself for falling behind way bad. Hopefully, I'll trend towards changing that. I miss my daily drawings, and hopefully you did too. I will play catch up, so stay tuned for the back issues. It's not that I haven't been doodling, but pen and paper is so unconventional for blog posts.

This is a disrupted business man. He started out very prim and proper, and went wretched as the music I was listening to progressively got louder and faster. (Mogwai's "I'm Jim Morrison I'm Dead") It's reflective upon my urge to quit my day job of selling cell phones and being more myself by doing artwork. I'm really starting to hate my job. My ideal is to eventually be an art director for a major ad firm, or even OWN an ad firm.

Yes, the show "Ad Men" is in my Netflix queue. I haven't seen any episodes yet, but I'm sure they'll be informative and interesting.

SEVENTY NINE

2008-10-30T23:08:00.003-07:00

Day 79: Here's Nixon.

SEVENTY EIGHT

2008-10-17T10:48:00.003-07:00

Day 78: This is a rendering of Alice, from the Adult Swim tv show, SUPERJAIL!. I drew it from memory, because there doesn't seem to be any pictures of Alice on google's image search.

Superjail! is described as "Itchy and Scratchy go to jail." It's an amusing show, because it's all animated by hand in America. It's got a simplistic and organic feel, and most of the people on the show used to work for Mike Judge.

Check it out sometime, but don't be upset because it's ultraviolent.

SEVENTY SEVEN

2008-10-16T22:11:00.003-07:00

Day 77: This is my Dad, Wes Clark. He predicted I would draw him into this blog someday, and here he is.

Funnily enough, I asked my friend Sean Lacey what celebrity to draw, and he said, "John Malkovich". So I started to, but it ended up my Father......So here he is, for what it's worth.

SEVENTY SIX

2008-10-10T01:00:00.005-07:00

Day 76: Jimi Hendrix is quite possibly the greatest self taught rock guitarist, ever. This is a tidbit that is hardly ever argued. I can't play like Jimi, but I'd give all my drawing abilities to master his style. He's a part of the "forever 27" crew.

SEVENTY FIVE

2008-10-10T00:52:00.001-07:00

Day 75: Comment who you think this looks like, and I'll pick the best answer.

SEVENTY FOUR

2008-10-10T00:44:00.003-07:00

Day 74: I really don't have much else to say, other than I'm trying different techniques.

SEVENTY THREE

2008-10-03T13:22:00.000-07:00

Day 73: Hahhahaa..

SEVENTY TWO

2008-10-03T13:16:00.001-07:00

Day 72: It had to happen, eventually. The king of my cartoon capabilities. It's a easy crowd pleaser. It's also the basis on which I've learned how to cartoon.

SEVENTY ONE

2008-10-03T13:12:00.002-07:00

Day 71: Lesson in lines and monotones.

SEVENTY

2008-10-03T13:08:00.001-07:00

Day 70: My sister married a red headed kid. This is my prediction of their first son.

SIXTY NINE

2008-10-03T13:04:00.002-07:00

Day 69: Me, as I appear today.

SIXTY EIGHT

2008-10-03T13:03:00.002-07:00

Day 68: I've been obsessed with drawing myself as of late.

SIXTY SEVEN

2008-09-22T23:06:00.001-07:00

Day 67: Just a trace of my face.

I can curl my tongue three ways. And when it's curled, I can make the middle part go in and out. It's an odd talent, but it be my talent.

SIXTY SIX

2008-09-16T01:22:00.000-07:00

Day 66: I know I'm technically way behind. I will make up all the days pretty soon, hopefully with work that beats the quality of today's piece. Starting school and work again really threw off my groove, but I'm organized now.

This is just an abstract odd piece, utilizing odd tools built into adobe illustrator.

SIXTY FIVE

2008-08-23T23:34:00.000-07:00

Day 65: Lines and such.

SIXTY FOUR

2008-08-22T00:37:00.002-07:00

Day 64: What if you could smear pixels on a pen tablet? Maybe this.

SIXTY THREE

2008-08-21T11:26:00.003-07:00

Day 63: Sooner or later, I'd get around to the Dark Knight. Batman has been a solid favourite my entire life, partly due to the series "Batman: The Animated Series", which is still to this day the best incarnation of the franchise on film. End of story, no arguments. Sure, the Dark Knight was a good movie, but it's not a solid Batman. I don't think they can make a Batman movie to please my idea of Batman.

This sketch isn't as solid as I could create, but I didn't feel like spending hours on a Batman face today. Maybe sometime in the future.

SIXTY TWO

2008-08-20T20:55:00.003-07:00

Day 62: Inspired directly from Winsor McKay's "Little Nemo" cartoon strips from 1905 - 1911. Winsor McKay is the godfather of animation. He was able to produce fabulous animated features from hand, without the use of a light table or clear paper. He was a genius, and is worth studying.

SIXTY ONE

2008-08-20T01:01:00.002-07:00

Day 61: This guy's inspired by the fat business man in the Radiohead "Paranoid Andriod" music video. Eventually the guy is seen in a black metal studded thong.....it's a good video to say the least.

SIXTY

2008-08-20T00:48:00.002-07:00

Day 60: This belongs in the "Mutts" cartoon. Charles Schulz even says this series is "one of best comic strips of all time."

FIFTY NINE

2008-08-20T00:32:00.001-07:00

Day 59: I'm slowly but surely starting to get a hold of my personal colour wheel. Colours that balance and compliment one another. I'm not sure of the technical term, which I studied at one point in time, but these colours seem to blend fairly well. Too bad I prefer black and white artwork.

Inspired subconsciously by Popeye's Father, Pappy.

FIFTY EIGHT

2008-08-20T00:30:00.002-07:00

Day 58: Another experiment in brushes. I hope all this experimenting leads up to one giant million brushed face.

Here's yet another failed attempt at "woman".

FIFTY SEVEN

2008-08-15T14:50:00.004-07:00

Day 57: I drew a line and went with it. It ends up looking like a really stylized Archie...or Jimmy Olsen. (That Jimmy Olsen reference sure does remind me of something.)

FIFTY SIX

2008-08-15T14:49:00.001-07:00

Day 56: Marilyn Manson?

FIFTY FIVE

2008-08-15T14:47:00.003-07:00

Day 55: If I was a character on the Johnny Quest show, here's a quick composite sketch of what I'd probably look like.

FIFTY FOUR

2008-08-12T23:37:00.002-07:00

Day 54: It's amazing what Illustrator is capable of doing with the stroke of a pen tablet.

FIFTY THREE

2008-08-12T23:32:00.002-07:00

Day 53: Watercolour brushes are neat.

FIFTY TWO

2008-08-12T23:28:00.003-07:00

Day 52: Discovered a whole library of Illustrator brushes to play with.

FIFTY ONE

2008-08-10T13:55:00.000-07:00

Day 51: Another reason I don't draw women on a regular basis.

FIFTY

2008-08-09T21:36:00.003-07:00

Day 50: Quote the raven, "Nevermore."

FORTY NINE

2008-08-08T00:02:00.002-07:00

Day 49: Self portrait #2,746

FOURTY EIGHT

2008-08-06T00:25:00.003-07:00

Day 48: This guy is a nerd, geek, dweeb, all around dork. He looks great. The mouth took me awhile, not that it was difficult to draw, but I couldn't settle on a mouth to keep. The original mouth was more elaborate, but I've done it so many times before that I decided on this simple answer. Enjoy.

FOURTY SEVEN

2008-08-05T17:47:00.003-07:00

Day 47: I'll express inspiration from Stanley Donwood yet again for this image, that is almost lifted from Thom Yorke's "The Eraser" album cover. I still believe it's one of the best cover's I've ever witnessed. I really wish I could afford the $400 bucks to get a signed print of it, but I guess some luxuries will come later in life.

FOURTY SIX

2008-08-04T13:14:00.003-07:00

Day 46: My attempt at a more realistic cartoon. Someday I'll draw something I'm really proud of, but for now you'll just have to deal with what I'm doing. I have a hard time sitting down for hours and drawing. I have to spend at least an hour on faces if I want to produce anything worthwhile. This past month has been a difficult month, to say the least.

FOURTY FIVE

2008-08-04T13:12:00.003-07:00

Day 45: Line man.

FOURTY FOUR

2008-08-02T13:24:00.002-07:00

Day 44: Here's a curveball for you. I don't personally know exactly what it meant, so here it is, for what it's worth. I can tell you I really like the Easter Island statues, and it's inspired some work before. I've added the red because it compliments the black so very perfectly.

FORTY THREE

2008-08-02T12:27:00.001-07:00

Day 43: Scratch face. Sometimes freehand sketching returns decent imagery.

FORTY TWO

2008-07-31T01:21:00.001-07:00

Day 42: Fat pen style.

FORTY ONE

2008-07-30T22:16:00.003-07:00

Day 41: Looks like a Muppet. I'm experimenting with the other brushes in Illustrator. This is a good one.

FOURTY

2008-07-29T10:54:00.002-07:00

Day 40: I like that brush.

THIRTY NINE

2008-07-29T10:41:00.004-07:00

Day 39: I recently heard an old lady tell Gene Simmons that she knew he was Jewish by the size of that "hook". (His nose.) That made me laugh. Here's a guy with a hook.

THIRTY EIGHT

2008-07-29T10:32:00.001-07:00

Day 38: Here's my second attempt at a girl. I don't like drawing girls.

THIRTY SEVEN

2008-07-29T10:31:00.002-07:00

Day 37: Frankenstein, or an "E"? You decide.

THIRTY SIX

2008-07-29T10:18:00.004-07:00

Day 36: Coulrophobia: The Fear of Clowns. With films like "IT" and "Pee Wee's Big Adventure", it's hard growing up not being freaked out by clowns. I think people who dress as clowns are mentally handicapped. Can we just forget about clowns? Yes, I'm even willing to have Krusty killed off in a nation-wide effort to delete clowns from our memories.

I'm not that scared of them, I actually find it very demeaning to the clown, and the beholder.

THIRTY FIVE

2008-07-29T09:46:00.004-07:00

Day 35: As some of you know, I'm way behind. Time to turn out some faces.

This looks like a Calvin and Hobbes face, I think Calvin had a gym teacher that resembled this guy.

THIRTY FOUR

2008-07-24T08:54:00.002-07:00

Day 34: My Mom says I'm channeling picasso and matt groening.

THIRTY THREE

2008-07-24T08:46:00.004-07:00

Day 33: The regular standard issued "Ethan Face" I draw on a regular basis.

THIRTY TWO

2008-07-21T08:58:00.003-07:00

Day 32: Simple. Easy. Mildly lame, but it's what you get while I'm on vacation.

THIRTY ONE

2008-07-21T08:40:00.005-07:00

Day 31: Alexander Calder made a face from wire. I saw it today in the National Art Museum in Washington DC. This is inspired souly on that project.

What's great about Calder's work is that when it's hung, shadows on the wall give you a different view/angle of his pieces. I'm going to get around to trying my hand at 3D wire faces eventually.

THIRTY

2008-07-19T13:15:00.002-07:00

Day 30: Typical Ethan quick sketch.

TWENTY NINE

2008-07-19T13:09:00.002-07:00

Day 29: I created a couple of characters in middle school named "Beany and Brat: The different twins". It was created for my underground comic "All Gore". My buddy HJ and I would draw the most bloody and disgusting images we could for these issues. The only colours were black, white and red.

Beany was a fat kid who wore a beany (duh) and is a nice "golden boy" nerd type. Brat was created to represent the bad kid (wore Korn tee shirts). Brat always tormented Beany, and it usually ended up in some type of bloody encounter. (I was thirteen and needed more violence than my alotment of television provided.)

If I were to draw Beany today, this is what he would look like.

TWENTY EIGHT

2008-07-19T11:49:00.003-07:00

Day 28: I went to the national indian museum in Washington DC yesterday, so here's a picture inspired by the cover of a magazine. I can't find the cover itself, but it looked psychadelic.

I've fallen behind on the cartoons due to travel, and I'm away from my Adobe Illustrator capable computer. I've been demoted to drawing with a sharpie and scanning the drawings in. (I know, ancient technology.) I will make up for the loss today. I never said I would be perfect, but I will have 365 pictures for this blog next June.

TWENTY SEVEN

2008-07-16T10:55:00.003-07:00

Day 27: I really appreciate the cubist movement. "Guenica" is probably my favourite of his work. I enjoy how cubism encompasses 3D into 2D. How you can see all sides at once. It makes for fun drawings and sketches. Modern art in general is far more bold and interesting than classic works. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate classic paintings, but works from Emil Nolde, and Keith Haring.

I've always been a respecter of Bold.

TWENTY SIX

2008-07-15T15:00:00.000-07:00

Day 26: Ambidextrous, I am not.

TWENTY FIVE

2008-07-14T11:39:00.004-07:00

Day 25: I attribute this sketch to an animated short entitled "The Queens Monastery". It was part of a compilation dvd of wonderful animated shorts. Spike and Mike's classic festival of Animation.

Definately worth buying, as I've watched this dvd numerous amounts of times.

My wife wonders why I don't pen women very often. I'm not entirly sure, but it can probably be attributed to the fact that I don't want to emulate beauty with pen, because it's much more difficult than drawing the hideous and ugly. Men are usually uglier in my eyes than women. However, I do think this sketch entails the tall womanly figure artfully.

TWENTY FOUR

2008-07-14T11:33:00.002-07:00

Day 24: I wish I could find the comic book that inspired this one, but I can't seem to locate the title. It was a compilation of different underground cartoonists, but it contained tales of Superman, Wonderwoman, etc. I loved it. The story lines were great, and the artwork even better. There was a drawing of a man that inspired this quick sketch.

TWENTY THREE

2008-07-12T10:58:00.001-07:00

Day 23: My wife finally let me buy an iPhone. I'm busy with that today. Busy, and happy.

TWENTY TWO

2008-07-11T17:48:00.002-07:00

Day 22: Bad day. Quick sketch. He's got a turtleneck.

TWENTY ONE

2008-07-10T16:51:00.002-07:00

Day 21: This guy looks like Butthead from Mike Judge's "Bevis and Butthead". Mike Judge is another cartoon hero of mine. King of the Hill has been running for 12 seasons, right behind "The Simpsons" who start their 20th season this fall (longest running American sitcom).

Judge also directed the cult film "Office Space" and more recently "Idiocracy". He also does a lot of voice work. Here's a hilarious Judge animated short he created in his early days. A guy talks about film.

TWENTY

2008-07-09T11:11:00.003-07:00

Day 20: It's funny how I think I come up with a totally original face, only to stand back later and realize I completely ripped it off.

This is probably where I got it from. Hoggish Greedly from Captain Planet. (What a crappy name for a crappy villian for an even more crappy show.)

NINETEEN

2008-07-08T13:08:00.003-07:00

Day 19: This is a Bill Watterson inspired portrait of myself, with a "Family Guy" mouth. I like the simplicity of this one. The original was gonna have green hair and light blue skin, but I didn't feel like making him look "rebootish".

EIGHTEEN

2008-07-07T23:14:00.003-07:00

Day 18: What's really interesting about Adobe Illustrator CS2 is that when I draw a really long black line, the program will cut the line off for me. I can't draw one continuous line, I have to reconnect with the pen. It's rather annoying and I hope CS3 or the upcoming CS4 addresses that problem.

That aside, I rushed this line figure, inspired by Tiki art and sheer boredom.

SEVENTEEN

2008-07-06T21:23:00.003-07:00

Day 17: Running theme in my faces work.

This was actually a doodle I did when I was in 8th grade. There's a rather unknown song by the Smashing Pumpkins called "Ugly". CLICK HERE for a video using the original pumpkins song. Song aside, I like how OrangeCaesar managed to make an interesting continuous shot watchable.

That's all for today, folks!

SIXTEEN

2008-07-05T14:12:00.002-07:00

Day 16: I really didn't feel like sitting in front of the computer and drawing for more than a minute today. This face shows what I can do in less than a minute of work. Just a quick sketch of a balding man. George from Seinfeld perhaps?

The cartoonist from "Zits" does a lot of sketching out of cartoons before inking the bolder lines. I usually don't bother with this style, but have tried it a few times before. It gives an interesting look, but I still prefer just jumping into the final design first. Probably accounted for by my attention deficit disorder.

FIFTEEN

2008-07-04T17:57:00.003-07:00

Day 15: Happy Fourth, America.

From Wikipedia:

Uncle Sam is a national personification of the United States (US), with the first usage of the term dating from the War of 1812 and the first illustration dating from 1852. He is often depicted as a serious elderly white man with white hair and a goatee, with an obvious resemblance to Presidents Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, and dressed in clothing that recalls the design elements of the flag of the United States—for example, typically a top hat with red and white stripes and white stars on a blue band, and red and white striped trousers.

I guess I forgot the Stars. Meh.

FOURTEEN

2008-07-03T11:22:00.003-07:00

Day 14: UUGGGGHHH! I couldn't stand working on this one, let alone look at it, but sure enough, I posted it!

Another trace from Photobooth. That is a great program. I think I want to make a clay bust in a really freaky looking manner. Something to make people stop and appreciate their normal, non-hideous face. Maybe if I create face busts of people so hideous, people will love, praise and appreciate more, because I'll create a false sense of security. "At least I'm not THAT ugly."

But then again, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...

THIRTEEN

2008-07-02T15:52:00.004-07:00

Day 13: Pillboy. I wanted to do more colouring and shading, but I screwed up when I was grouping different parts of the drawing and it became increasingly difficult to shift things around once I drew. I'm sure there is a simple way to do what I'm doing, but I'll just have to figure that out in the one year span that I have drawing faces everyday.

I remember reading an old cartoon from the 30's where a King needed three Pillboys to go out and find stuff or something...that is what inspired this guy's long blue face. There were three pillboys. Red, Green and Blue if I can recall correctly. I used to stay up at night and read this large volume collection of cartoons. I want to say it was associated with the Smithsonian, but I don't recall for sure. I'll know later this month when I fly back to Virginia.

TWELVE

2008-07-01T12:45:00.002-07:00

Day 12: I've seen this guy before. Probably from the Looney Tunes. Actually, it is. It's the episode where Bugs Bunny stumbles upon that mansion and finds a huge hairy monster within. I'm pretty sure that was a Chuck Jones episode. He's my favourite cartoon director of all time. Such a unique and wonderful style. I've read that he didn't use model sheets like other animators, but I'm not certain. He had a great style.

That being said, I rushed today's drawing a tad because I'm a little busy today. I'm guest appearing on a Podcast called "Geocentric" where I'll talk about the new 3G iPhone. (Link to the right.) Plus, I'm thinking about going to the local art store and buying some modeling clay to make a cartoonist bust, like Robert Arneson. Yeah, I feel inspired.

ELEVEN

2008-06-30T11:47:00.002-07:00

Day 11: Fanboy. Probably a comic book fanboy. Loves The Marvel Universe more than our own universe. And twinkies. Loves twinkies.

TEN

Day 10: The General. No political message here, I'm just drawing a picture that popped into my head today. It's actually paying homage to a bust I saw in an Art Museum back in Washington DC. I think the bust is called "The General".

I love the Art world. I love Modern Art, however, my artwork isn't usually driven by politics. I enjoyed this bust so much as a kid because it was so vivid and unusual. It really popped out from the crowd, and I loved it. If anyone could give me pics, or a link to the artist who created the bust, I would deeply appreciate it. I'm headed back to VA this July, so I might have time to look for it and update this blog with further information concerning "The General".

UPDATE: The bust is called "General Nuke", created in 1984 by Robert Arneson. It was at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC, but it currently isn't on display. Click HERE to see a side of it. Here's a blogger's take on the statue: HERE

Thanks to my Dad for sending the information in.

Day 9: Simplistic jazz man. I love Fats Waller's "Feets too big" video on Youtube.com. His facial expressions are priceless. This isn't necessarily Fats, but a general jazz singer. Sorry it's a little rushed, but I just couldn't sit down and spend time on a drawing today. Attention deficit disorder.

Day 6: This drawing is a combination of the bike guy in "The Triplets of Belleville" and the drawings in "Where the Sidewalk Ends". If you haven't seen "The Triplets of Belleville", I don't necessarily recommend it, as it's a really odd and slow paced film about the Tour De France. If you're really into animation, however, you must see it.

I really like the effect of just using black, white and red. It's haunting, goth, and Tim Burtonish. (By the way, my Dad went to High School with Tim Burton.)This picture also begs the viewer to want to cut the hair on the face. Too bad it's a fabrication of pixels, or you might be able to cut his hair. My Mother in Law watched me draw this face, and told me to put nose hair on him. He's repulsive, I know.

Day 5: Another Mac Photobooth trace. This time with accurate hairline, and hilarious eyes.

Day 4: You ever play with the webcamera on those new Mac's? Photobooth is a fun application. This was my warped face from photobooth, sketched over and slightly modified...(I'm not balding at all, nor expect to.) I tried to use the watercolour brush in Illustrator to get a realish effect, but I'm horrible with the tool.

Day 3: Didn't have much time for this one. I hate the eyes.

Day 2: In eighth grade I paused an episode of Simpsons on my tv and traced the outline of Homer's face. I copied that homer head over and over and over again until I basically perfected it, and could pull it from thin air. This impressed the kids in class to the point that they would emulate me, but couldn't come close to the actual Simpson "look".

I have seasons 1-10 of Simpsons on DVD. One of the commentaries Matt Groening makes is that he probably couldn't draw Homer to "standard". This threw me in disarray. I can draw Homer better than Matt Groening...

This face is my own "messy" version of myself, with Simpsonesk features.

Day 1: This is a Stanley Donwood inspired character. Stanley is the primary source of Radiohead's amazing album art. Although it's a far cry from his work, it was indeed created while listening to "OK Computer".
