I watched Lawrence of Arabia the other night. This was a super-quick, super-intuitive drawing, but I liked the result of Lawrence and the camel (even if I ran out of paper)!

And no, riders in LoA didn’t use reigns on their camels, that was pure artistic license. Besides, it runs off the page. Maybe it’s got a horse head?!

I hear that some mathematicians looooove to solve math problems in their free time– for entertainment, like playing video games.
X = mathematician fun

Y + I = X

Granted, they’re excellent to learn from and there’s nothing wrong with drawing yourself. But even so, they’re a simple, re-used concept… how could I make it something new? And then it occurred to me…

What if I had a brother? What would he look like?
