I've Got a Fever! Christopher Walken

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I've been busy creating and not posting. I've been doing a lot of traditional work– Ink and water color. But I now have plenty to post for the next couple of months.

Here's my Christopher Walken. It is ink wash on water color paper. I'm pretty happy how to came out, so I may scan and color it digitally.

Thanks for looking!

No Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Diet!

Here's a bit of late night sketching, while watching "Quantum of Solace." I sketched it on Canvas Paper with pencil and Prismacolor. 

Now I'm going to sleep. . . 

Thanks for looking!

A Brush & Frank Zappa– No Commercial Potential

Here's another go a at brush & ink. I think I'm getting better at it. For this one I sketched one of my favorite musicians– Frank Zappa! It started as a pencil sketch on Canson Canvas Paper. Then I taped the paper down and laid down light ink washes to build up value. Then I finished it with pen and ink for dark detail, and white Prismacolor or Chinese White watercolor for added white.

Thanks for looking!

"Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"– Dr. Zaius in Brush & Ink

"His Destiny!"

Here's another Brush and Ink picture. Last night I watched the original Planet of the Apes (1968), so I painted this. I should probably also paint a Cornelius and Zira as well. In fact I should paint an entire poster!

For supplies I used; Princeton 50/50 rounds #5, #0/3 rounds, 3/4" wash brushes, Higgins black India ink, and Winsor Newton Chinese white watercolor on a sheet of 136 lb. Canson Canva-Paper.

Thanks for looking!

Brush & Ink Practice

I've never been good working with brush and Ink. I had a go at it this morning, and here is the result. I'm pretty happy with it. But I still need a lot of practice. You'll see more of these from me. I've been spending so much time working digitally. But recently, I've decided that I need more practice in working traditional.

For supplies I used; Princeton 50/50 rounds #5 and #0/3, Higgins black India ink, and a white Prismacolor pencil on a sheet of 136 lb. Canson Canva-Paper. My reference was a sketch of a mustachioed man from Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis.
