From Me to You

Whoops, haven't updated in quite a while. I haven't really been as busy art-wise lately; I need to remedy that. Here is a gouache painting of the Beatles copied from some of their Hard Day's Night photos. This was a bit of an experiment in minimal detail. I did rough size sketches of them, and then just went at it with black gouache for the facial features on a blue-gray mat board. Scary doing that, but I didn't make any major mistakes. Except I hate drawing with a ruler so you get wobbly boxes around them.

She thinks of him, and so she dresses in black.

It's become kind of a tradition for me to draw a picture of my little bilby character in a Halloween costume. This watercolor sketch is a very tiny painting of Pinki as Paul. This is why I don't draw her with shoes on -- look at how weird those Beatle boots look!

I hope you will enjoy his show

I've had an urge to draw the Beatles, but not being a good portraitist, I of course wanted to make an animal instead. The Sgt. Pepper's outfits are so cool, so I did a watercolor sketch of a fox in George Harrison's ensemble. He's a poorly-drawn Bengal fox. Get it, a fox from India, George Harrison, huh huh? What an awesome hat he had, and black spats. He's playing a flute because George is holding a flute on the cover; it's true, look it up!

Also, flutes are hard to draw and I'm too lazy to look up what they look like.
