And what have we learned so far? Not much really. I’m terribly over committed. Really, really over committed when you consider that on most days of the week I have less than an hour available to draw. I don’t know if I’d manage to get more done on any individual project if I had more time available or if I’d just gludge things up by committing to more projects. I’m kind of stupid that way.

And how go things on my other projects?

Progress Report – Skook Sketchblog
This post 1708. 292 to go. I really need to scan some art. These progress reports are going to get dull pretty quickly.

And finally, I need to scan more images so I have something for you to look at every day. I know, no one is dying of suspense waiting for the next sketch or resurrected childhood drawing but posting here on a regular basis is a good way for me to pay attention to the passing of time.

I also need to repost the addresses of the blogs and websites of friends, acquaintances and regularly read complete strangers. I lost my list when I updated my template months ago and have only just now started recreating it.

My current thinking is that on post 2000 I’ll retire this blog. I expect to continue some sort of regular posting but, if all goes well, it will be at DavidLeeIngersoll.com. This is post 1707. 293 to go.

And how go things on my other projects?

DavidLeeIngersoll.com – less than embryonic

(Note to self – put this stuff into a spreadsheet or something. Slob.)

Drat. Missed a day.

I own DavidLeeIngersoll.com and DavidIngersoll.com. At the moment both those addresses point here. Eventually I’d like there to be a website at that address. Something professional and attractive that shows off my portfolio quickly and simply. At the moment I have to admit I haven’t even come up with a rough sketch for what I’d like the site to look like. The most thought I’ve put to it in the last few years was/is this post. So, a long way to go with that project.

Way back in 2009, when my day job was a much different animal than it is right now, I had a lot of time on my hands. Much of the time my job involved me waiting for the phone to ring. That was one of the advantages we had over most of our competitors; someone was there to answer the phone when a potential customer called. Because we wanted me to be as responsive as possible I had a lot of unscheduled time. I never wanted to read a book while on the job, or play games online or watch videos or do anything that would cut down on my ability to pay attention to a customer when needed. So I spent a lot of time waiting. Eventually I started spending some of that time sketching and eventually I started to think that I could sketch with a goal in mind. And thus was born 365 Bumps in the Night.

What exactly 365 Bumps is will have to wait until January 31st. Hopefully that will be January 31st of 2011 but I originally hoped to start this project on January 31st of this year and that obviously didn’t happen. There will be 366 posts in the project – one character drawing plus some text that will give some context to the illustration. The stages for each character drawing goes from sketch to inks to shading to photoshopping and posting. Here’s where I am so far –
