Doodle: Dancing Nose-Man

Children's book author Erin Dealey gave me a Nose-shaped pencil sharpener at the SCBWI Summer Conference in LA last month, and challenged me to put it into a doodle.

And some of you have probably guessed, I try to avoid obvious found object doodles whenever possible. Or rather, I find that when I'm trying to think of a doodle for an object, the first thing that comes to mind is usually one I pass over. I love the challenge of coming up with something different.

For the Nose, I found that the solution was simple: just turn it upside down. Nose-Man needed something to dance to, of course, so I added coffee bean music.
