pub people

In an effort to loosen up, I tried drawing while having a pint.

First she was alone... She was so nervous, I thought she was waiting for a date.

Then her friends showed up. And more beer showed up.

Some people, however, seem slightly tense. Is it the sports on TV? Or the topic of discussion?

But overall, everyone else seemed to be having a reasonably good time. As was I, although I had to witness Barca slaughtering some random Russian team. Boo.

chinese diner

Drawn very quickly at a Chinese restaurant on the back of the placemat. I like the placemat paper for drawing though, it was very smooth :)

summer, good night!

 

I've been in denial about it for a while, but summer is over.

It's the best summer I've had for a long, long time, because for once, I did not have to go through summer completely broke :)

Also I wore that sundress a few times, which made me happy.

Hopefully this will be the first of some what-I-wore posts. And the beginning of more regular posting.

Happy Friday everyone.

all day errday

This is actually something I did for work. I posted it because I like the weird design and line quality and because... this is my life now. My laptop is like an extension of myself. I wish I could spend an entire day just drawing in sharpie or something. It's creepy how much we're attached to our computers, iPads, smartphones, and other devices, even tiny little kids. Everywhere you go you just see a bunch of self-absorbed beings sitting with headphones blocking out the world. It's an entire lifestyle which encourages people to live inside their heads -- or I don't know where -- detached from reality, and not in their actual world. It is a filter through which we view our lives. 

I'm not sure I like it, but there's nothing I can do about it. I would like to take a vacation from it, however. Just go somewhere with a lot of paper and write and draw on actual paper. Or not.

you can call me flower,

... I don't mind.

The artichoke is a flower, in case you didn't know. 

This is the color test... which I also kind of like.

ringa ringa

Kind of old sketches, from last year. Drew them next to each other. Needed to bust out some drawings after a very uninspiring day. I don't usually draw this girly... or maybe I'm just in denial.

sketching: zoo

Langur from the zoo. Very exciting fauxhawk to draw, and execrable habits. Licking his own toes, eewww.

How does this tree look like a ballet dancer, I don't know. It's not from the zoo though.
