Daily Doodle 5 - Seahorse Painting

DAILY DOUBLE!
I love horses. I love the sea. When some brilliant dudes thought to put the two together they came out with:

And a blind contour drawing of my beautiful sister, which, this drawing does absolutely no justice for her.

Halloween is for Chumps

I will be spending my first Halloween away from home this year. I wonder how Chicago celebrates it? Probably nowhere near as good as New York, but you can't blame them for trying. We'll see. I really hate this kind of art but decided to do it anyway. Need to loosen up more!


Boo, you dirty son of a bitch.


This makes me feel so damn itchy.

I so need a vacation.

You Reek of Alcohol

My sketchpad got soaked in beer. Can't have a better primer than that. Unfortunately it's all to waste with these incomprehensible images. Make sense of it if you can. 
I hate this one the most because it reminds me of college.

This one sucks as well.


The model was so boring I ended up drawing some of the people.


Favorite spot.


Yeah, not a fan of too much from this session. A mixture of feeling like I was back in school (model was boring as fuck) and not warming up properly lead to crappy results. My good comrade, Kosinski, actually got some pretty good stuff out of it though (like a butt load of PBRs).

I've been recording all sorts of stuff as of late which explains the delay in the visual department, but not to worry, I will have better things to show in the future.
