Sitting in the Park

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

Not painting stuff I’m seeing in the park, however. That’s mostly kids and dogs. Fine subjects. But for another day.

Recovery

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

Been sick these last few days. Drew some stuff, of course. Mostly this evening, when I was feeling better. Could add more blood splats, I suppose.

More junk I’ve been drawing

By in horses, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Haven’t had all that much time, so I’m putting up some odds and ends I’ve drawn. The aging guy heads were copied, more or less, from the book Drawing People, by Barbara Bradley. Flying things, and a nerdy kid. An old-fashioned “War of the Worlds” tripod, and a farmer’s cart. Why? I have no idea.

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.

Retro Lines

By in dogs, sketches, women

I’m way more comfortable drawing in a spidery scratchy way than I am making the slick lines that seem popular in animation and graphic art these days. Still, fun to try. Doing some construction is also helping me with the heads and bodies. Part of the trouble with being self-taught as an artist, is that […]

Worked hard today. Drew some silly things in the meantime. I’m sorry.

Hey Wow

By in sketches, watercolour, women

Weird painting, as usual. But I learned a lot from doing this!

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!

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.
