Fighting, Faces, and Icky Eaters

This quick study was fun. Took a bunch of basic shapes and observed different kinds of face shapes around town. One thing I love about China, I can stare at people all I want.

So the middle good looking guy is NOT from my town but from Shanghai. He was one of the metal heads I um...moshed with at the Lamb of God concert. The rest of the sketches are from my KFC window (this is now gonna be my hub as they have cheap shitty coffee but an awesome window). And I realized, my town has NO good looking guys, let alone manly guys. Couldn't find one attractive face. The two other guys depicted here are roughly what half my older students and generic men on the street look like. Yum.

Creepin' on People Eatin'.

This man is amazing. I did a quick sketch of his face in my last entry and decided to expand more on him. He just has so much character to him, I wanna capture it all. My friend says he looks like a Disney villan. Hehehe.


Am I gonna post something other than sketches anytime soon? When I fill all 4 walls of my apartment walls with life drawing sketches, I will. I will explain why next time. Ciao!

Ur chest is like a Petting Zoo

Isn't that just the best title?? Totally not original. I've been listening to very bizarre indie bands lately from my unsorted 250 gigs of music which I've been sorting for the last two years..


Anyhow, I found an effing cafe in Huangyan!! With real tasty non overpriced coffee and noninvasive staff!!! I wish I could convey how big of a deal this is for me as I can't life draw ANYWHERE without gathering a giant crowd. No it has nothing to do with me pretending to be Michelangelo, it just looks odd when a person in China is drawing, let alone a foreigner. So hiding behind glass and sketching life outside was such fun. It's been ages and I've regressed quite a lot..this top page took like an hour to do. But I'm gonna work on some more disguises and sketch more often now that it's warming up!


The rest of this shit smeared stuff is a mixture of sketches from my holiday..can't really say which ones are China which are Philippines..Enjoy! And big news in the next post!





And as for below, anyone follow my comic? I still update, at least once a week. And tis getting steamy as you can see!

The Many Faces of China

SO I was gonna do a big sketch dump here from my trip to Philippines, but my internet is being a douche and only let me upload this one pic..so. This was from my trainride, people weren't being too interesting so i grabbed a magazine and sketches. I know, cheating.

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.

For my last 2 days off I decided to go on a mini trip to Hangzhou, which is quite a large touristy place with a nice history and lots to draw. SOmehow though when I got there I just wasn't as inspired to draw as I thought I would be so my sketches are pretty bleh and not many. And craaapp...I'm reverting back to scribbley scribbley as opposed to the new clean lines Sheridan taught me to draw. Gotta work on my short pose life drawing.

And yeah, had a TON of fun with the painting. Going to make many more like it I think. Working in acrylics as watercolour is quite fun.

I've been drawing lots but a bit too lazy to update my blog so here ya goes. Enjoy!

I'm DONE!

I don't have too much to say here, but after months of procrastination, I sat down for 16 hours straight to redo and finish my site! My favorite design so far. CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT!
