Moby Dick

Superheroes, turkeys, and ninjas are fun to draw, for sure...but a challenge? Maybe for pansies. But we are not pansies here at BlueSky. No, we want a REAL challenge. And that is why your challenge this week BlueSkyers is to draw something inspired by the 1851 novel by Herman Melville, Moby Dick. "But, BlueSky Challenge Blog, I've never read the book!" you might say. To which my response is neither did Neal Armstrong, and he was the first man to walk on the moon. So go draw.

off the port side!" - Goosaba

By the way BlueSky folks, I really love your blog. As an aspiring illustrator, I have enjoyed your illustrations and looked forward to them daily.
