It has been a while since my last blog post, which is nothing new right? Well in August I decided to draw tribute sketches of a long-time hero of mine, Tim Burton. I started on August 3 and sketched one drawing a day leading up to his birthday August 25, 2016. Each sketch represented a movie or highlight in his career. I wanted to share those with you today, at least part of them, and the rest will follow on the next blog post. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram this is will be a recap, but I hope you enjoy seeing them again. So finally, something new for the blog.
