So, I re-drew the Nouveau Nubian, because it was too small and that caused me to mess up details around the eyes and hooves. I think this version (11x14 inch paper) is better:



So then last night I suddenly switched from the partially-started Saanen to the Boer. Dunno why I had to draw a Boer all of a sudden, but I did, and I think she turned out lovely:


Boers are meat goats, if you're wondering...


Then, here are some of the latest Harry Potter sketches, I doodled after re-reading 'Deathly Hallows' just recently. Doubt I'll ever finish them, so here they are:


Harry asking the Grey Lady about the diadem.


Harry and Dumbledore and the thing at the Kings Cross Station in Harry's head. They're not really supposed to be naked (except for the thing...) I just hadn't gotten around to drawing their clothes because I was more focusing on their body shapes being correct-ish. I like how Harry and the thing look (despite the proportional issues.. meh) but Dumbledore freaking sucks here. Also, I can't recall what they were sitting on, so I'll have to reread that chapter if I ever want to FIX DUMBLEDORE and continue this. But again, it is unlikely.


And finally, here are some Ghostbusters doodles. I was feeling the need to revisit the 'firefighter calendar' style drawings, refining/improving them and finishing Winston and Janine as well. So far all I have is a slightly-redone Ray and the beginnings of a Janine:






That's it for now. Try to go work on the Saanen or LaMancha, perhaps, both of which have sketches started.

Some of you may remember this doodle posted a long time ago... it's turned out quite differently than I was originally intending, but I really like this. I want to do every major goat breed and try to sell note cards or something. The Saanen is the next one in the works.



Copic marker on smooth bristol board with a little bit of computer editing, 4 x 5 inches. I might enlarge this and do it over, since I screwed up part (which I computer edited out) and in order to get cleaner details around the eyes and hooves. So, perhaps this is a prototype for this (hopeful) series....??? Might also be good to use an actual font for the writing, which would be much straighter lines than I am capable of doing freehand. I was also thinking of putting a little desert plant down by her front legs in that space, but ended up deciding against it, that the abstract sand dune background is enough. But perhaps a deserty shrub would be nice?
Constructive critique is welcome on this.

Finished up Kandi and Vanilla Bean's Blue Bags, the first of (I hope) many drawings celebrating, honoring, and documenting notable (and sometimes tragic) goats in my life.

Overall, I really, REALLY like how this turned out.
