Squibbit - (long time no see!) - Thanks for the feedback/encouragemant - Nice to get good feedback on the simple gauche drawings - a bit off of the beaten track for cgtalk, but the simplicity of it is near and dear to my heart - kind of like breathing

more foodcourt sketches from today:
(I am really glad for Bobby Chius inspiration in getting me going on these quick 
"draw em anywhere" type of work - 
it has become such a great part of my routine)

I finally got a nice book on Daumier - great inspiration

I would like to see this type of work broaden in scope - I hope to startt working them up a bit - colour, more complex composition/refinement/interaations of people .

Hey Gord! Very nice caricatures you got here! :applause:
I don’t have to tell you that you are a skilled artist, but as you said before: “Draw, draw,”…and then draw some more :wip: )

Cheers!

Gord - I like you life drawings. About how much time are those? They just warm ups? Your characters are funny. I am an Amy Winehouse fan!

#120

Hi aggie

The life drawings are 15-20 minutes.
I like Amy Winehouse alot - great singer, but such a tragic figure!
