This month's theme was military. I decided to draw a realistic modern version of the cameo uniform on the right and a more 'hollywood' interpretation on the left aka what I think of when I think of a soldier; a tank top, cameo carpis, dog tags and combat boots. I drew these at school, with the new Adobe CC, but when I got home, Adobe CS5 could not correctly open the file, so I couldn't modify them at all.

Copies from Brenda Starr Newspaper Comics
Some time ago I acquired a large lot of newspaper comic paper dolls. These sheets were part of the lot but they are only black and white copies of the originals. These are from 1947 and 1948. Might be fun to color.

Little Owl and His Friends
This is a copy from Jack and Jill magazine featuring 2 pages stitched together. I'm not sure of the issue or year. The pages have a native american named Little Owl along with a canoe, teepee, and little animal friends. This is not quite a paper doll, more of a cut out assembly toy. The artist is Peggie Geiszel.
