Didn’t have my paints with me, but this is a sketch of Carre St. Louis, looking towards the (dry) fountain, from the St. Denis side. Could be worse!

Train Doodles and More

By in ballpoint pen, black and white, brush pen, color, Coloured Pencils, digital, Gouache, heads, paintings, pen and ink, pencil, Portraits, self-promotion, sketches, Uncategorized, watercolor, watercolour, women

It’s a new sketchbook! These things are expensive. I’m thinking I should be like Chester Brown, and not worry about my legacy. Because I’ll be gone, and then people can fight over the old books, if they want to….

Chrystia

By in ballpoint pen, color, digital, Gouache, heads, paintings, pen and ink, pencil, Portraits, self-promotion, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, women

Instead of doing important drawings for which there is a firm deadline, I watched politics on my big TV instead. Lots of long speeches. I liked Chrystia Freeland’s face, so I drew that in my Dollarama sketchbook, with my amazing Winsor and Newton Series 150 Chinese brush. I don’t know if it’s actually a Chinese […]

Hairy Guy in Green

By in ballpoint pen, black and white, heads, pen and ink, self-promotion, sketches

Drawn last year, at least according to the number beside the signature. I’ll try to get into comics more, eventually! Got some interesting old family stuff, as well. So I can post a bit of that, too.

April Blog

By in ballpoint pen, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, montreal, paintings, pencil, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolour

   Here we are, in my old-fashioned editor, putting up pictures from my sketchbook into my old-fashioned blog. I used to know how to write CSS, and make pretty styles for text and paragraphs. Not to mention the tags for these illustrations. Haven’t done much of that for a long while! I listened to a […]

Newish Pages

By in ballpoint pen, black and white, brush pen, color, horses, men, pencil, sketches

Newish sketchbook pages. You know, I used to put up a drawing every day, and felt unhappy if I didn’t. But these days, while I’m still drawing a lot, I’m not blogging as much. Social Media is strange. I loved Twitter, but they seem to be doing as much as they can to ruin it. […]
