I've never been able to draw (except for those few times I have), so I'm playing around with a very basic character I doodled months ago, as an experiment in something I have no experience, talent, or ability for.
Sketched them, snapped them with my iPhone camera, then tried to use the default Illustrator brushes to keep them looking slightly sketch-ish.
From sketch to iPhone to Illustrator then back to natural media photographed with a Canon 5DMk II then printed and traced and scanned and put together in Photoshop: http://dribbble.com/shots/42588-Looking-up

I like. Has a likable Wall•E quality. Also dig the iPhone as scanner method. Works great!

I’m feeling more of a Johnny 5 meets Ikea floor lamp vibe.
In a cute way, though.

Loving the personality you get across with just the eyebrows (top middle), and the anticipation in him when his body's on a slant (top left).
Lovely!
