John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces begins with a character sketch of its main character for this reason. You get to be direct, describing everything you want them to see and taking your time doing so. In the end Derry shows respect for him by coming. A character sketch is the quick, easy, no-fail way to fix a character in the reader’s head. I began this doodle like all of them, without any preplanned intention… I just started drawing a face of a tough looking character then drawing his chest and right shoulder… then when I was about to draw the left shoulder my “alien creature” mode kicked in and I decided to draw the character with its arm missing and instead drew the repair apparatus, cables, machinery, etc… It is a very simple line drawing. He used to get happiness by spending time with others and reading books. The sketch posted here is of a cyborg warrior character at a repair station getting its arm repaired and replaced. Because I’m compelled for some unknot reason to keep making such alien creature doodles and sketches I even have an entire section on my web site displaying some of my favorites. This sci-fi imagery is all just for the fun of it, for my own amusement, as it has nothing to do with my usual editorial and advertising assignments, nor with my picture book projects either. Sometimes I’ll purposely give a sketch a sci-fi/alien creature spin to it, inventing an imagined future world character or creature.

I enjoy doodling… always scribbling marks and faces and random shapes on scraps of paper. Generously illustrated with stunning lifelike watercolor and pencil drawings, this oversized book (9 1/2 by 12 3/4) will be treasured and enjoyed for. The Osamu Tezuka: Anime & Manga Character Sketchbook collects rough concepts from several of Tezukas anime and manga projects. ![]()
