So, when there’s time between class and homework and eating strange frozen dinners, I tend to open up Adobe Illustrator and mess around. If you know anything about me, you know I’m doodler. Just look at any of my notes over the past four years of high school and you’ll find odd, geometric creatures and slightly humourous depictions of my past teachers.

As I’ve matured (physically, not mentally,) I’ve learned to properly polish my random drawings. Yeah, I’ll admit that I’m not the best at drawing by hand or mouse, which is why I’m in college for design and not art, but I still enjoy putting things together, especially cartoons.

These three classmates were just a random doodling of mine that I recreated on the computer. Sure, it’s a bit sketchy and far from perfect. The legs could use some variety, the hands are unconvincing, and some of the perspective’s off. But, hey, who’s ever perfect?

Lastly, this kid was just completely random. I open up Illustrator and drew the hair, and went from there. What’s he doing? Does he want a hug? I don’t know. His hands are in the air, not because he just don’t care, but because I couldn’t get the illustration to look quite right with his hands behind his back. So it went from a menacing smile to a “Look at me!” smile.

I’ll share more as they come, as usual, and happy Labor Day, of course.
