Drawing on discipline

I've discovered that I blog a lot like I go to the gym. Exercising and blogging are on my to-do list, but the day twiddles away and before I know it,  I'm going to bed realizing I MEANT to go to the Y.... and I meant to blog, but oops—other things that seem terribly pressing got in the way.  I think I need to do something that makes me touch base regularly with my blog page to keep things dusted, current and worth visiting. A promise to commit that keeps me a bit more disciplined.

So  I'm going to sketch—and toss whatever I've scribbled up on my page to share. It'll be a good exercise for the illustrator in me to push some creative doodle out of my noggin.

Here's what I did today. I like this little guy well enough, but when I tried drawing a front view of him,  I'm struggled with the fore-shortening of his beak without losing his quirky personality. It's tossing me a bit. We'll see if he shows up again in more views. I like him well enough that I may put him in color though.
