My cartooning sketchbook

A few weeks ago, I was giving a presentation about something or other. At some point as I was drawing diagrams on the whiteboard, someone asked me a question. Obviously, I needed to add an icon to the board to make the idea more explicit... but for the life of me could not think of how to draw the concept as an icon.

After the presentation, I was thinking about that moment, and how to avoid it in the future. I could sit down and memorize a bunch of technical drawing icons, but no matter how many I memorize, there will always be another I need (besides, that sounds boring).

Instead I decided to take a class in cartooning. These are my nightly sketches and practice drawings over the last two weeks.

I don't know if my presentations are going to be any more interesting... but it's kept me entertained.
