Long Ago

Since it's my birthday today I figured I'd add in a couple of those old drawings from my childhood I alluded to in a previous post.

The top "tiger" is from about 1982 or so. I'm not exactly sure when I did it but '82 sounds about right. As most kids do I started out drawing in crayon on that old heavy tan-ish kiddie drawing paper that used to come in those drawing packs.

The second one is from about 1984 or so and is of a spaceship called the SDF-1 from an old cartoon series called Robotech. It was easily my favorite cartoon from that era. It's also on that heavy tan-ish kiddie art paper, thought the scan kinda washed out that texture/color.

I'll be posting a few more drawings from my youth over the next week or so. Mostly because I think it's always kinda cool to look back and see what how I grew as an illustrator and artist in general.
