Thought I should put in some time to do a few sketching exercises to practice Sesame Street characters for the nephews and niece. Besides drawing Elmo off the top of my head for the kids, I don't recall having ever drawn these characters before even as a child. (My childhood days were spent drawing Transformers and He-Man figures). Through these studies I was able to research the career and works of Jim Henson. Check out Jim Henson: The Works and Jim Henson's Designs and Doodles: A Muppet Sketchbook.
