I like this pair. It’s a music teacher and his student. The background is what you get if you mess your paint around after applying it to dry paper. I’m often frustrated in trying to get a smooth perfect wash, but find this sort of thing much more interesting to look at.

Big Head
By Jack in black and white, Gagnon Fridays, Richard Gagnon, sketchesAnother drawing by Gagnon from last Friday evening, which I inked today. He has a large comic and original comic art collection, and knowledge of styles and inking patterns I can only guess at. Those trees, rocks, and puffs of smoke, and that Jack Kirby-ish machinery, for instance. He also likes big heads in containers.

Again, Marr did some drawings in his own little sketchbook, but I didn’t get snaps. Rick and I drew heads. Above is werewolf Orson Welles, by me, inked by Rick. Below, Leonard Cohen-like bar guy, drawn by Rick and inked my me. But I did that later, [...]

Morpheus & Neo
By Jack in black and white, Film & TV, Montreal Comic Jam, sketches, washStill been sick and busy. Plus, my little cat is at the vet’s getting her tubes tied, or ripped out (whatever they do to spay little cats). So not much on the sketch front, outside of this. Apparently, I missed strange goings on at the Montreal Comic Jam last night, which I will have to [...]

Pencil Drawings
By Jack in black and white, pencil, sketchesOffered in the spirit of “here’s what I was drawing yesterday,” rather than “these are the greatest drawings of the century.” Pencil’s messy, but you can correct. Above are some faces from a book of old pictures and Elizabethan miniatures. I’m finding I’m happier and draw better faces if I try to consider the face [...]

Saint Patrick’s Rapscallionry
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesSaint Patrick’s day has come and gone, but the parade is today. So, last night, they were getting ready the green food colouring for the beer at the Cock N’ Bull pub. And I was drawing mildly salacious scenes happening around me and my friends Rick and Marr. Rick inked these, or in the case [...]

Beers and Drawings
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesMore drawing from the other night, meeting with friends at the Cock N’ Bull bar. Rick Gagnon was there. Marr was there, too, but he didn’t stay long enough to draw anything. Still, Rick was able to ink things like this drawing above of mine of one of the servers. Below is my drawing, embellished [...]

Rabbit Rider
By Jack in colour, sketches, watercolourThis warrior character fears his masculinity is being compromised by his having to ride a giant quarter-rabbit. But the villagers will probably be as terrified as ever. He should have and painted frightening runes on the sides of his mount, and tied victims’ skulls to the saddle, in order to increase the menacing effect.
