Quality over Quantity?

Got me some cool PS brushes so decided to play around. I finally decided to start on all the style sketches I collected during my time in China cause the styles there are....rather different from

the western standard. I was so content with these I decided to play around more and...

This one was inspired by Zena Holloway's epic underwater photography. Some call it cheesy, but I managed to stare at her stuff for over an hour with my jaw dropped. The pose is somewhat referenced one of the shittier life drawings I made from sometime this fall.

In other news....I biked 160 km completely this week! Hopefully can do it again the next week and the next week and the next week....Lifedrawing was not so often visited but managed to get some decent long poses in for a change which I will dump on you next weekend. 

This one was a lot of fun. Acrylic and cheapo paper.

Hello! Long time no see so here is a big ass update! I haven't been drawing nearly as much as I want to with one thing coming up, a new cold, followed by an allergic reaction to something, followed by some crap at work. Trying to get back to being more zen. I do miss being zen.

The pajama people! The most fascinating crowd to observe in China. This lady was at the bank going about her business with this crazy updo, full makeup and yes, heels. When I ask people why so many of them wear pajamas they have no idea what Im talking about. Its like if I went home and asked why everyone is wearing jeans.

I see this puppy runnnig around town all the time with this..noose around its neck which has dug in so far into its skin. Every time I try to approach the dog it runs away, and me coming at it with scissors would scare the living daylights out of the poor thing..it's sad to see so little respect for animals.
