Tuesday

By in cats, sketches

Just more drawings, with photoshop flourishes. I’m getting into the WACOM tablet, but still can’t really draw anything with it.

Sunday’s Drawings: With a Brush and All

By in sketches

The first one worked out pretty well. Kind of Frank Miller-ish, except it’s a non Frank Miller subject. Will work on making blog posts more exciting. But at least they’re quick to do! New Wave kid. The above and top are more or less inspired by the film Control, about the lead singer of Joy […]

Slew of New Sketches

By in dogs, sketches, women

Sometimes I wait a while and then post a lot of sketches I’ve done, but didn’t post, for whatever reason. Nice not to have to look at my friend’s death notice first thing when I visit the blog, however.

More Men, and on taking criticism.

By in dogs, sketches

Kind of like what a complete page in my sketchbook sometimes looks like, rather than a nice drawing excerpted and isolated to show you. Again, the usual paints on a thin, sketchbook paper. I’m a little bit torn up this morning, because a pro illustrator (more successful than I, at least) looked over my website […]

Pencil Drawings

By in sketches

Offered in the spirit of “here’s what I was drawing yesterday,” rather than “these are the greatest drawings of the century.” Pencil’s messy, but you can correct. Above are some faces from a book of old pictures and Elizabethan miniatures. I’m finding I’m happier and draw better faces if I try to consider the face […]

Tuesdays

By in sketches, watercolour

Mainly making little drawings, in this small book I found. Because they take less time. Really, I wanted to practice placing values, and, of course, making a nice picture. If I do something I really like, I can make it into a big picture, and I hope, get the values right so you can tell […]

Bert

By in sketches

Back to random sketches in my book, and cryptic words, which are merely notes I write to myself for some totally unrelated project. Looks fairly crazy, though, doesn’t it? Some other time I’ll write something rambling, but I have to walk up a hill in freezing weather and wind (but it is sunny out), to […]

Gator

By in sketches

This cat looks unhappy, even though he’s showing off the most wonderful ‘gator. Hope he’s not trapped in there, but the animal seems placid enough.

More Friday Fun and Frolic

By in sketches

Above is the brilliant job Rick Gagnon did colouring Marr’s (Michael Arsenault’s) drawing from last week during our usual Friday night meeting at the Cock N’ Bull bar. But this wasn’t quite so usual, because instead of “Gagnon Friday,” this one could be called Gagnon, Marr, Simmons, Leblanc (and Ruttan) Friday. Below, Marr and Gagnon […]

I’ve been memed, and lived to tell the tale.

By in sketches

This post is a tough one, but at least I get to post Lucy: I don’t really like these gimmicks, but the person who did it to me has been extra cool, lately, so I couldn’t disappoint. Internet Tag – as follows: One: Link to the person who tagged you. Here. Two: Post the rules. […]

Welcome to the New Place

By in cats, sketches

Wow. That was heavy, because I’ve been doing the blog for four years, and what do I get when I think everything is set up right? The domain name is attached to a spam blog. I wrote a letter to my domain seller’s support, and immediately after, either by design or coincidence, the wordpress blog […]
