Fun With a Pencil

By in men, sketches, women

Pencil drawings, coloured and otherwise. The title of the post is the title of one of those great old Andy Loomis art technique books. But one I don’t have.

Retirement

By in cats, men, sketches

This is something what I’m going to look like when I’m ready to cash in my life insurance. I understand that when one turns 80, the amount you can take out goes down, for some reason I can’t fathom. That’s probably a different cat than present, unless Mr. Boggedy has some strange abilities I’m not […]

Busy or Bizzay?

By in men, sketches, watercolour

Just another watercolour thing to keep the blog rolling along. At least I did some useful work today! Gotta feed the cats.

Always Brush Your Koi

By in men

This is the first drawing I’ve done with my Koi water brush. Explanation here, on my Tumblr blog. The tumblr is more for ramblings of mine that can’t be contained on twitter. This will be my more formal blog, and sketch blog. Trying to separate the two of them. I am large! I can contain […]

Worst Case Scenario

By in men, watercolour

Discussing hats, and drawing them, on twitter. Dylan Meconis offered a tutorial on her blog on how to draw tricorn hats. I don’t have big problems with those. But I do with fedoras and cowboy hats. So another artist, Brian Moore, offered me this: Worst-case scenario: ZAPHOD BEEBLEBROX, THE SINGING COWBOY GANGSTER. So, of course […]

Random Page of Stuff

By in cats, men, sketches, women

I’ve used that title before. This is just a page of drawings. Some of them, mainly that dancing girl, relate to work things. Yay for roller pens!

Men

By in men, sketches

This is a pencil drawing in my big book. I was too lazy scan it, and stitch it together, so I snapped it instead. Now I feel to lazy to write anything about it. It’s kind of self-explanatory. All my drawings of women at the moment are going to my burlesque project. But I felt […]

Pencils

By in cats, men, sketches, women

Bought these pencils at a new art store I saw, that had opened up on Laurier Street near Papineau. There used to be a framing shop which had a smattering of art supplies. Now, I guess they thought they’d move out and expand the art supplies. This is welcome, because there’s a dearth of independent […]

Morning People

By in men, sketches, women

I’ve been an early bird in my older middle age. So, I’m up with the sun sitting with a coffee, drawing stuff in the morning. During summer, I can be on my balcony, spying on people. That’s where most of these come from. Actually, I drew them in pencil yesterday. Today I added the finishing […]

Lafontaine Park

By in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, women

While walking through the park, had to force myself to sit down and paint this. Obviously I could have scooched over so the lamp-post wasn’t in front of the fountain. But hey, I was sitting there. The girl in front, playing with her puppy was super-charming.

Random Scribbles and Splashes

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

Still just drawing random things. Wish I were in a better mood. I added a halo to that wrestler you’ve already seen, and painted a ballet dancer. She’s actually outlined with a dip pen, which is all right. Also drawn with a dip pen is the cowboy below. Should be working on something other than […]

Tiny Pic-tures

By in men, sketches, women

Nothing too ambitious here. Just “tiny pic-tures,” as my sister used to disparagingly call them. I don’t have that much in mind while drawing them. More a form of relaxation.
