I keep a couple of the girls' toy animals on my bedside table, and occasionally draw them right before falling asleep. Once in a while I draw them AS I'm falling asleep - this was a painful attempt to keep my eyes open while drawing a little pig. It's kind of a blind contour drawing, except the blindness is from my brain shutting down.
This is quite sharp. I should add notes so you know what's what.
I tend to draw spaces and places that have very impractical designs. For example, here you see a two-way road with light rail in the median on the south side, and then the tracks diverge to be on the outside of the roadway. There's really no point to that.
I think I do that so there's more line activity in my drawing.
You should also note I put in turnstiles at the light rail station. I'm not aware of any light rail system in the world which has automated fare controls.
This is a photograph of a drawing, and not a scan like most of my drawings on here.

Not yet identified who did these, but I don't think it was I. An old friend sent them to me this week.
It had been a good observing night. The weather was crisp and the sky clean and transparent. But the moon would soon break the eastern horizon. As is often the case, I had saved the best target for last. NGC 3953 is one of the brighter members of the 50+ gravitationally bound M109 Group of Galaxies. NGC 3953 is reasonably bright with a barred core that can, on good nights, be seen in moderate-sized telescopes. The bar did need to be teased out at a higher magnification (I used 232x) than what I used for the rest of the drawing -- but it was worth the extra effort. You will probably have to enlarge the drawing to see the short bars on each side of the galaxy's core. NGC 3953 was a perfect way to end my time at the telescope.

In the after afternoons
When there comes big, starey moons,
Often we've heard Micky playing
By the window, fairy tunes;
But I don't know what he's saying
In the after afternoons.

Featuring WHERE'S HUDDLES CHARACTERS
NOTES:
Where's Huddles? is a Hanna-Barbera animated television program which premiered on CBS on July 1, 1970 and ran for ten episodes as a summer replacement show (for The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour) until September 2 (repeats were shown on the network's Sunday afternoon schedule in the summer of 1971). It was similar in style to the studio's considerably more successful The Flintstones, and it used several of the same essential plots and voice actors. Also, like The Flintstones, and unlike many other animated series, Where's Huddles? aired in the evening during primetime, had a laugh track, and had somewhat adult themes. All ten episodes were produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
The show's premise involved a professional football quarterback named Ed Huddles (voiced by Cliff Norton) and his neighbor, the team's center Bubba McCoy (voiced by Mel Blanc). They played for a team called The Rhinos. Other characters included Ed's wife Marge Huddles (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl, also the voice of Wilma Flintstone), their rather jovial if acerbic neighbor Claude Pertwee (voiced by Paul Lynde) who tended to refer to Ed and Bubba as "savages" {Pertwee's only friend is a spoiled cat named "Beverely"}; their teammate Freight Train (voiced by Herb Jeffries), and their daughter Pom-Pom. Bubba's wife Penny McCoy was played by comedic actress Marie Wilson in her final role before her death from cancer in 1972.
The Rhinos' football announcer was voiced by actual sports anchor Dick Enberg, who at the time was the voice of the UCLA Bruins and Los Angeles Rams. Alan Reed had a recurring role as Mad Dog Maloney, the Rhinos' coach. The Huddles had a dog named Fumbles, voiced by Don Messick, who also provided the voices for cartoon dogs Scooby-Doo, Astro, and Muttley. Fumbles, much like Muttley, would often laugh at someone's misfortune, but whereas Muttley's laugh was wheezy in nature, Fumbles' laugh was more guttural.
Unlike other Hanna-Barbera roles he was playing at the time, Paul Lynde was actually credited for his role in this series as Claude Pertwee. His other roles in Hanna-Barbera productions, such as Mildew Wolf and the 'Hooded Claw', had been uncredited.
In addition to the Huddles television series, there was also a comic book (with art by Roger Armstrong) which ran for three issues from Gold Key/Whitman Comics in 1971.
Iwao Takamoto (April 29, 1925 – January 8, 2007) was a Japanese-American animator, television producer, and film director. He was most famous as being a production and character designer for Hanna-Barbera Productions shows such as Scooby-Doo.
Takamoto first entered the cartoon world after the end of the war. He was hired as an assistant animator by Walt Disney Studios in 1945. Takamoto eventually became an assistant for the legendary Milt Kahl. He worked as an animator on such titles as Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians
Takamoto left Disney in 1961 and joined Hanna-Barbera Productions shortly thereafter, but he and Joseph Barbera were both uncredited sequence directors in The Fox and the Hound. He worked in several positions there, but is arguably best known as a character designer. He was responsible for the original character design of such characters as Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons' dog Astro, and Penelope Pitstop. He worked as a producer at Hanna-Barbera, supervising shows such as The Addams Family, Hong Kong Phooey, and Jabberjaw. He directed several feature length animated films, including Charlotte's Web (1973) and Jetsons: The Movie (1990). The inspiration for Scooby-Doo's creation as a Great Dane came from an employee of the Hanna-Barbera company, who bred this dog.[1]
Takamoto was Vice-President of Creative Design at Hanna-Barbera, and was responsible for overseeing H-B's many product related merchandising. In 2005, he received the Golden Award from the Animation Guild, to honor his more than 50 years of service in the animation field

This video shows the development of a scratchboard drawing from an old mugshot.
The picture (which you can see here) is part of a series that I'm working on, some of which can be seen in my Artwork set.
---------------------------------------------------
Scratchboard was invented as a way of making something look like a woodcut without the effort of cutting the wood. It was meant to be used by advertising illustrators as it reproduced well in newspapers.
It's made by coating a sheet of card in fine clay and then painting a layer of black ink on top. You draw the picture by scraping the black away to show the white beneath. (You buy it ready-made, of course, because, if you made it yourself, you'd surely end up with a big soggy, inky splodge of clay-soaked card.)
You'll probably have done something similar with black crayons over coloured paper, maybe? Perhaps in the early years of school?
Trying to figure out what to draw for the Flickr Drawoff Round 2. For some reason I like this kind of dog. We'll see.
