More Faces

By in horses, sketches, watercolour

Feeling like I’m getting better at it. Actually, I just enjoy doing these. Meanwhile, I’m watching a cheap supermarket DVD of the silent film “Nosferatu.” The picture quality is terrible, but every frame is a perfect image.

By in cats, horses, sketches

The cat is listening, a guy is sitting on a horse without stirrups, and the poor beknighted kid from the movie Into the Wild is being stalked by a cuddly, harmless grizzly.
