Illustration Friday: "Routine"

Routine. Yup. This is an old one. Probably about 4 years ago almost. I still like it really just because it was part of a collection of drawings I did, actually, I think is the first drawing I did post-surgery. I we getting back into the ...wait for it... routine of drawing. I had surgery on my shoulder a while back to keep it from dislocating so easily. The surgery worked about 9 months.

My right arm is what I use to draw, so it facilitates what I'm best at. It is also my biggest liability. It's like Spider-Man, a blessing and a curse. Something like that.

Something clicked after that surgery. No, it was not clicking pins in my shoulder either. Drawing was starting to make sense and I was starting to see how to draw.

  2. If this drawing is anything to go by, that was very effective surgery! Did your pins set alarms off just after you had surgery as my husband did?

  9. ha! this is hilarious. The expression on your card punching, stoic worker is priceless. And wonderful line work too - the thick and thinness of your lines really adds depth.

    btw, I feel for you on the shoulder thing. I am up to 7 dislocations (two surgeries). Shoulders are tricky. They just are designed right. Ball in socket with not much holding it in place?.... It makes no sense. Someone needs to come up with something better.

  10. Great character! At first I thought he was an odd working guy. But then WHAM, I saw his tail! What the --! That's really great.

    Glad to hear things clicked after the surgery. Was it caused by the surgery, do you think? I just read about a guy who turned wonderfully artistic after a stroke rewired his brain.
