Morning Pages

By in pen and ink, pencil, sketches, watercolour

I didn’t draw all of these today. Just was tardy in uploading them. Here are a few of my pals from the Montreal Monthly Comic Jam. Actually, this is last month’s meeting. There was another last night, but I didn’t have the energy to go. Here I was in a bit of a pissy mood, […]

Cross-Hatchery

By in ballpoint pen, black and white, cats, color, digital, pen and ink, pencil, women

These are almost automatic drawings I do, while watching movies on the DVD machine, or petting cats. Cross-hatching is fun for me, but there’s almost no end to it. You simply have to stop, rather than declare something finished. The bonus this time is a little coloured cat picture:

Watercolour Women

By in black and white, color, heads, paintings, pencil, watercolour, women

Been painting sometimes strange watercolour portraits of women. Going for pretty more than scary, but they’re all interesting, at least. Plus, a bonus pencil drawing of a little boy, from the front cover of VOIR newsweekly:

Printemps d’Erable

By in black and white, comics, pencil

I hope this doesn’t make me seem too right wing. I was listening to the news on the radio this morning, just waking up, and this is what one item sounded like. To tell the truth, I support the protests!

Further Pencil Outpourings

By in black and white, heads, men, pencil, sketches, women

I have lots of little drawings but putting them all up in one post would be overkill. So today here are pages from my big, long sketchbook (well, 9″x12″ — but that’s pretty long). Usually when I scan something I slide a piece of blank paper underneath, but this time I wanted to see the […]

Pencil-lations.

By in black and white, men, pencil, sketches, women

Been drawing a lot in pencil since I’ve started working on digital painting. Unfortunately, not much of the digital is ready for Prime Time (even here, where I often publish imperfect work!). But it is improving mightily, so I might be showing you some less than totally misbegotten images in the future. Part of the […]

No One Visits the Blog on Sunday

By in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, pencil, sketches, women

This is true. But I am moved to put up some silly ballpoint pen and pencil drawings I’ve done. Enjoying the more complex scenes these days, and will do a few of these in colour, and digital, which I am fooling around with.

Another New Sketchbook

By in black and white, brush pen, men, pencil, sketches, women

When I feel down, unlike people who buy a pair of shoes, I sometimes get one of these babies. Doesn’t take long to fill those rather small pages. The black Koh-i-Noor stick is nice, too. Hooray for seasonal sales at the art or stationery store! Terrible stuff to watch, last night, on the “Tube” (Youtube, […]
