So I decided Friday night to go with a sketch-a-day. And after an hour piddling around I came up with today's image. I was going to do something astronomy related, then I decided to do a pretty complicated scene with an old man staring at the stars... astronomy was the theme. But I did a quick sketch and realized I would have to work on it for too long to actually make it look cool. So after half an hour I chucked that too.
Sigh, that's going to be problem for me. Anyway, I decided that the old man I was drawing reminded me just a bit of an aging Andrew Leon... wait, Andrew starts with an 'A'... I drew Andrew Leon, aged an additional 40 years.

So, *ahem* sorry to anyone who'd hoped I'd do the astronomy based posts for the challenge, it looks like sketches are my thing.

Hey, I like both themes so it's a win-win for me.
I love the sketches theme. It's orignal, quick to read, and interesting. :)
Andrew will get a kick out of that!
So will I get five hundred points if I send myself? If that puts me in the lead, I might do it.
Great post.

I didn't have a theme until I sat down at the computer this morning and chances are, it'll change about five hundred times between now and the end of the month.
Love the sketch. You're such a great artist.
Wow, you are very talented. I can't wait to see what your other sketches will be.
I'm dropping by from the A-Z Challenge and will definitely be back to check out more of your sketches.

love your "andrew"
:)
i copied your theme with the sketches, but i spent about three minutes on mine.
i'm such a slacker!
I am in awe at people who can sketch like this. Great job.
Awesome sketch. I wish I could do that. I can't wait to see the rest.
Wow... I really have no words. And that's something for me. Okay, I have one word: awesome! That's awesome (and,look, my word starts with "a")!
Oh, and my wife will kill me if I ever let my beard get that long.
I wish I could sketch like that. I can draw epic stick figures. And trees, I'm pretty good at drawing trees. I'm not very good at drawing peoples.
Love your theme. I'm interested to see what sketches you'll come up with. :)

I dig the sketches theme! Looks like Moses.
Curious. How long did it take you to do that sketch? You're very talented.
@Jay: I had beard in high school, and Moses was one of the nicknames I picked up.
You are so talented. I love your pictures.
I really love this. I'm in awe of people who can draw.
Wait, you did this yourself? Holy god, that's amazing. My secret dream was to be an artist, but sadly I wasn't very good. I can't wait to see more!
Happy A-Z blogging!
Hi, enjoyed the post and the sketch!
Thanks.

A theme of sketches = THE AWESOME!
A sketch a day will work for me, Rusty.
Now imagine - I recommend young adult books on my blog, and I've got a nice bookshelf full of books that I've read and am ready to write up... but fitting into this A to Z scheme? Well, a few will be a bit of a stretch, and I am still hunting for one for V.
But I cannot draw. At. All. So I will be looking forward to your sketches, believe me!

I think I like the sketch theme. Less to read and try to process.;) Can't wait to see the others.
I'm looking forward to the next sketches as well. It's fun to see another writer/artist in the challenge. :)
Amazing sketch! I look forward to the rest of them!

LOL I think the sketch is fabulous despite it being a last minute thing! :)
It's a very nice looking sketch. I'll try to stop back more during the challenge to see what else you have.
Awesome sketch! Wow!
Love your sketch - and your thought process!
Wow, you captured a lot of expression in the face with that sketch. It does look like he's looking up at the stars.
Cool theme for the challenge. Like the sketch.
