Sketchbook: Student awesomeness

No comic today but here are a couple of things I’ve been sitting on for a few months.

 

A sketch page I stole from Sade, one of my students this year. I thought it was so good I couldn’t resist. It reminds me of the kind of thing I do in my sketchbook from time to time. Look at this, she’s so good!

I’ve slacked off big time in scanning some of these terrific student drawings of me in the last few weeks. To refresh: Every year on my final exam, I give students a one point bonus if (after they are finished with the scholastic portion of the test) they draw a picture of me. I spend the better part of the year drawing pictures of myself on the chalkboard, so I’m interested to see what their take on me is.

I got a LOT of Batman drawings this year, so let’s jump into it!

2011-2012 school year: mustache!

I know the facial hair thing is a little weird, given how I normally draw my beard as just a random zig-zag line. I will also ask that, starting next week, you just forget about my mustache. I shaved it off immediately after making a splash with my “asshole movie producer” character during the students’ presentations.

I guess I could have said this yesterday, but that “character” I do is basically Irwin Mainway, the shady businessman character Dan Aykroyd played on Saturday Night Live. You can see why I’d want a mustache for that, right? Right?

Would you like to se some of the Romeo & Juliet posters from this year’s 9th graders?  Check behind the cut.

I sort of want to use this as my new logo for my life.

friday odds and ends: random drawings

Although I have quite a few talented artists in my classes, I don’t post student work very often. I suppose this is because I can’t really give any students credit here and maintain the level of professionalism that allows me to comfortably draw the comic. Still, one of my kids drew this picture of me a couple of weeks ago and vanity demands that I share it.

…and this is a drawing of my family I did during a staff meeting on Wednesday.

(I drew it on surplus pink copy paper. That wasn’t a stylistic choice or anything)
