Various Doodles, Sketches, and Vectors (2019-Current)

Began challenging myself in late 2019 to start doodling/drawing daily.  I really wanted to improve my drawing/improve this skill as well as give me a baseline for the start of some vector work.  So I started with the premises to draw something meaningful or fun everyday from my daily life or my interests.

Following this, when I have time I am going to take these drawing and work to practice my Illustrator skills by vectoring them out.  Here are a few highlights from these daily doodles.
Brutus Buckeye holding the #1.  Drew this the morning after Ohio State became the #1 ranked team in the first College Football Playoff poll of 2019.  Go Bucks!
Chomps, the Cleveland Browns mascot.  Drew this the day after the Browns beat the Buffalo Bills to end a 4 game losing streak.  After such high expectations this season, my support is still unwavering after a sloppy start to the 2019 campaign.
Pluto, Mickey's best friend and pup.  Drew this as baseline for my daughter's class family ornament project. We were required to design an ornament that represented our family.  Our family loves Disney and the Disney Parks. Secondly, Riley's favorite character is Pluto. I drew this based on a Disney World Christmas plush she owns.  We took this concept and made a felt ornament for her school's kindergarten tree.
NFL100 is over.  30+ weeks until football again.  Hoping my Browns can make a deep playoff push in 2020 and hoist a Lombardi in my lifetime!  Go Browns.
Ollie the Elephant.  Piece of a baby invitation I did for my brother and sister-in-law for my nephew (Born May 22, 2020) inviting the grandparents over for a snuggle session. Due to pandemic, they waited a bit to have family over to shower him with love. My sister-in-law loves elephants, so thought it was fitting.
