Seabus Sketchery

I take the seabus everyday to work and it's by far my favourite part of the morning. It's also the most ideal mode of public transportation to draw on (in my experience). It doesn't make frequent stops or sudden turns, no one gets on or off for 15 minutes and at the time I take it, there's always plenty of room so I can draw without the constant scrutiny of my fellow commuters. Also, most people are so busy enjoying the view they don't notice me staring while I scribble their likenesses :)

Men in Pen II

The men are back!

....and a random doodle of Morpheus.

I've also (finally) updated my list of friends and to-be friends. All of them super talented and cool, so check em out if you have time.

Ode to Snow

"Not all ideas are good ones, and not all images are good ones. They shouldn't be expected to be." ~ Scott Morse.

I recently acquired a copy of Scrap Mettle, a collection of "fast art" by Scott Morse a super awesome talented artist whose works I drool over on a regular basis. Thanks to his inspirational words and pictures, I've decided to delve into the perilous world of water and colour again.

This was inspired by the magical snowy weekend we just had which passed all too quickly when the weather went back to 12 above and the pouring rains washed it all away.

Bujar

Here are a bunch of sketches I did of Bujar Llapaj (pronouced Boo-yar La-pai if I'm not mistaken) - a man of diminuitive stature but larger-than-life presence. He's one of the conductors of the West Coast Symphony which I joined a few months ago.

He's really not an angry person as the pictures may suggest. He's just more fun to draw that way :D

Back to Life

Wow, November almost slipped by without me posting anything. I'm definitely laying on the slackery here.... nothing like short days and long rainy nights to keep one inspired.

Finally got a chance to attend life drawing again after a hiatus of several months. Here are some of the results.

Men in Pen

So I've managed to make at least 1 post a month since the inception of this blog which is about as consistent as I can be. For now. Here's to greater consistency!

Straight to the Head

So somewhere between gawking at Adam Rogers drawing in class and studying Dean Yeagle's awesome sketches, i learned how to draw humans. Real Humans. Kinda.
