Elk Girl

More pencil work tonight.  This is a sketch in support of the elk painting I have been working on.  I wanted to have a better roadmap to how complete the head in the painting.

For James

 Part of the motivation for this blog is to honor James Matthews, my son.  He passed away five years ago now.  I decided to stop thinking about the day I would do art, because I realized that would be a mistake.  You never know when your time will be up.  So if you keep thinking about doing something "some day"  you need to do it now.  Best Son ever and always ready fort an adventure with me, like Belize to scuba dive. That's him in the water on his open water certification dive in Belize.

Manga Octo-Robot

More of a favorites of James.  This is an Octo-Robot, manga style.  It can explore the depths of the sea and it have eight arms.

Manga Style Octo-Ghost

Happy Sunday, I decided to try something different.  James, my son liked Octopi.  Manga or Japanese style comics have a series of Octopi tentacled ghosts, villains, and heroes.  This is my pen version of one for him.

Vietnamese Girl in a boat

Some times the simplest are the best drawings.  A simple ink brush drawing with two tones of grey is tonight's work.
