#iCantDrawEither - "Rick Diculous"

Today I decided to bring back #ICantDrawEither with a heavy dose of rock and roll mayhem...

"Attention, Rosemont Horizon! Rick Diculous has left the building!"

#ICantDrawEither, the Kickstarter Edition

Today's #ICantDrawEither goes out to Aimee, a backer of the SILENT EXPLOSION Kickstarter campaign and all around cool person.

Her backer reward included an original drawing, posted on my website as an official #ICantDrawEither illustration, so here it is...

The Flaming Unicamera!

It's a unicorn...

it's a camera...

and it's on fire...

what more could one possibly want?

I Can't Draw Either, 2016 - The Birthday Edition

Happy birthday to me!

For today's "I Can't Draw Either" illustration, I cheated just a little bit. I'm posting a picture I drew for a reader -- cake drums with cookie cymbals!

I Can't Draw Either, 2016 - Day 4

Spider Car...

Spider Car...

Eats the bugs off your windshield...

Yeah, that doesn't even rhyme. Lame.

I Can't Draw Either, 2016 - Day 3

I'm a little late with this one. I posted it on social media yesterday, but didn't have the time to upload it here. Consider this yesterday's drawing a day late, with today's to come later tonight. My apologies for the shady quality of the scan.

Today's #ICantDrawEither illustration proves not everyone loves donut holes.

I Can't Draw Either, 2016 - Day 2

"I Can't Draw Either" continues!

You've played with Hot Wheels.

You've eaten potatoes.

But have you experienced "Hot Potato Wheels"?

...

Didn't think so. You're welcome.

I Can't Draw Either - 2016 - Day 1

It's January -- time for another marathon of "I CAN'T DRAW EITHER!".

For those of you new to my blog, this was my attempt last year to illustrate one simple picture a day to inspire students past and present who're convinced they can't draw to give it a try anyway. "I Can't Draw Either", but I do it anyway and have a whole lot of fun with it (see how the title works?). Click here to see my artwork from last year.

It was amusing to quite a few readers, and I kept it up for a good twelve days before the bad news about Egmont came through. I didn't feel much like drawing after that.

But I'm back in a great new year -- 2016 -- the year I debut. I'm set to try it again and see how long I can keep it up.

Today I have a drawing of my smelly feet. They're not really my feet, though. They look nothing like this. Just thought I'd clarify.

I Can't Draw Either - Day 12

Nothing brightens up a Monday like a swashbuckling swordfight!

What? Why are you groaning?

I Can't Draw Either - Day 11

What if Harry Potter was a werewolf with a gift for pottery?

He admittedly looks more like a fuzzy wereduck, but that's why I don't make any money doing this.

I Can't Draw Either - Day 10

Sketched this quickly while doing an exercise on fear with my local SCBWI chapter. Certainly not my best, but very fun.

I Can't Draw Either - the birthday edition, day 9

Happy birthday to me! Did you know that if I lived on Mars I'd only be eighteen? That's frightening.

I drew a wonderful cake to celebrate...

I Can't Draw Either - Day 8

It was pretty difficult to come up with a drawing today with the news being... well... what it is.

It seemed wrong to give up on account of that, though, so I decided to draw a happy, smiling face. We need more of those. It slowly morphed into a reflection on the cold weather.

I hope you enjoy it...

I Can't Draw Either - Day 7

This is not going to end well...

I Can't Draw Either - Day 6

Therapy for math teachers is a very complicated thing...

I Can't Draw Either - Day 5

Turtles take a really long time to beat video games...

I Can't Draw Either - Day 4

This guy is obviously overreacting...

I Can't Draw Either - Day 3

There is nothing sadder than dropping an ice cream cone...

I Can't Draw Either - Day 2

This is the real reason I don't like spiders...

I Can't Draw Either - Day 1

Too many of my students tell me they can't draw. My resolution this year is to show them I can't draw either, but I still have a ton of fun trying.

So here's my first drawing of the year -- I think it sets the tone perfectly.
