For this week, more from my sketchbooks...
This drawing, done in pencil with ink and ink wash, features (yet again) an ostrich and a satyr. Mostly, this one was done with a focus on the chickens. I'm working on a rather large project about chickens but I won't be able to say much more about that for a while. In the meantime, my sketchbooks are seeing more and more poultry...
Here's a quick sketch of a hipster playing a banjo. I once had a roommate who played the banjo. He looks nothing like this guy.
Here's a Chris Sanders (the guy behind the look of Lilo and Stitch, the most unique Disney film I've ever seen) inspired ink drawing from one of my older sketchbooks. I added watercolor to it last week.
Ink on pastel paper (with a touch of chalk). A woman plays tennis with an 6-armed, four legged ox-like catfish monster using frying pans and eggs.
I wonder, from time to time, what a psychiatrist would make of my sketchbooks...

And for this week, a few more drawings for my sketchbook.
This one, a pencil drawing featuring a stoic Chinese soldier, is from a photograph accompanying an old Rolling Stone article.
Here's a cowboy I did one day in pencil. I tend to draw oversize hands, mostly because I enjoy trying to capture and exaggerate all the expressions hands are capable of conveying.
I used pen and and ink wash for this sketch of a tired man.
I plan on putting up a number of selected pages from the book I've been working on next week. Stay tuned...
OstrichesAndSatyrs

Two things regularly appear in my the background of my work:
Ostriches...
and Satyrs...
There's no deep psychological reason for this (not that I know of), I just think they're both fun to draw.
