Mondays

By in sketches, watercolour

Nothing too ambitious. I was out of the house for most of the weekend, and working on other things than making pictures. I’m going to have to learn how to scan watercolours in better quality. There’s a site which talks about that. But it recommends a lot of little steps, and I can hardly tell […]

Faces, and Loose Ends

By in sketches, watercolour

A few faces I did last night. The ones up above start with a base of some colour or another. Then I go at it with that colour as a theme. The guy below was painted with a dry brush that was pretty saturated with paint, if that makes sense. Most of these are done […]

Random Watercolours

By in sketches, watercolour

The first one is from a photo in a movie mag. Defiance, if you care. The rest are out of my fevered head.

Post Jam

By in sketches, watercolour

I started a couple of comic pages at last Night’s Montreal Comic Jam, but you can’t see them because they were packed away, and I didn’t take my handy little digital camera to take snaps of them, or of the jam participants, for that matter. So you’ll have to be content with this little doodle […]

A little light. I’d better go. It’s time for the Monthly Montreal Comic Jam!

City Quartet

By in watercolour

I don’t know what to say about this one. Maybe just back away, slowly. Actually, I like pictures full of silly characters. This one measures 10″x13″, if anyone cares.

Watercolour Things

By in cats, sketches, watercolour

A little at sixes and sevens this weekend, and drawing helps me relax. I’m not going to identify the pair up above, because fans of celebrities on the internet are sometimes crazy, and will go to silly lengths being rude trying to preserve their imaginary relationships with their idols. I might tell you more stories […]

Monkeys, etc.

By in sketches, watercolour

Doing a lot of monkeys, but not all like this.

Untitled

By in sketches, watercolour

I like the kinda rough, dashed-off quality of these. And also the texture of the paper in the scan. It looks like old skin.

Odds and Ends

By in sketches, watercolour

I don’t know. Maybe tomorrow I’ll bother using some perspective. At least I might be in a better mood about things. In the meantime, there’s this snap of a drawing by Marr and Rick Gagnon from last week, which I forgot. Lovely fingernails, by the way.

People and Planes

By in sketches, watercolour

Stuff I enjoy painting. This is supposed to be a DeHavilland DH98 Mosquito, the best plane ever! These used to fly out of Calgary, my old home town.

TV People

By in sketches, watercolour

Just a couple of TV people. What more to say? Talking about drawing sometimes spoils it.

P-51 Mustang

By in sketches, watercolour

Cadillac of the skies! I’ve got to post more of my stuff here, because people are commenting on the other things as if I did them. Well, the masthead did say “…and friends.”

Eccentric Farm Scene

By in horses, sketches, watercolour

A woman in an evening dress really has nothing to do with a guy leading a horse around, but that’s what you get when you start drawing on a big sheet of watercolour paper. At least this stuff is a little more resistant to “cockling” than my usual sketchbook paper, even though it’s not stretched. […]
