It’s been forever since posting anything. I have been into playing Spanish (nylon string) guitar for just short of two years, and spend more time on that now.

I have completely abandoned the Markette felt-tip marker and am using the Copic brush-tip marker now. Most of my drawing these days consists of practicing with the Copic to improve the quality of line. I have been striving for lines that flare and taper in an aesthetic way and will keep working along these lines.

My wife’s 11 year old niece was visiting with her family last week and so that is all I have to post today. (Actually, I drew at a paid gig a month ago, but unfortunately they were all kids so I just drew them cute. It was like drawing at theme-park!) This is a bit cute too, but I’m happy with the overall attitude, line quality, and okay with the color, and so here it is:

I’m just going to keep focusing on line quality and then exaggerate when I get to draw some adults, and hopefully bring all the elements together. As for exaggeration, I just practice that in my head with everybody I see in public.

Have not posted in a long time, and am rebuilding the drawing technique, so it will be awhile…

This post concerns golf: My dad recently scored a hole-in-one on a par 4. (on a straight hole, not by “cheating” a dog-leg) I doubt many pros have accomplished this:

Actually, the newspaper got the stats wrong because the odds are much greater of scoring a 2 on a par 5, than an ace on a par 4.

Have not been drawing much lately, but did some for my wife’s nephews on New Year’s Eve. You can also see these guys from over a year ago.

Have a great 2008!
