Some brush pen work from the Louvre, done SAT and MON. Two of my brushes (cheap, prefab things I buy for 3 Euros from a Japanese store called Muji) are getting quite dry, hence the depth of the drybrush effect here. It's beginning to look like Ritmo-style charcoal! Only drag is when brushes beccome this dry, they can't hold a point, and line work suffers. I'm trying to discipline myself to reach for a fresh brush when I need it, but y'know, I get to caught up in the drawing....
I'll stop posting dry copies of dead, "Old Europe" museum pieces soon.
(And yes, we do have passes for the Louvre, but no place else.)

These are dry brush? *weeps openly*
magical Marty. Very magical.
Yeah, I'm with you, Scrib... If I could count on work like that with dry brushes I'd carry a blow dryer with me when ever I would go out to draw!
You're ready to replace Alex Ross.
OK, you guys are just being silly.
But Gawd Bless Ya.
Um, no, we're not.
Marty,
Beautiful drawings as usual. But better check your anatomical proportions against the guy on this web site. You may want to adjust the arm size on some of your drawings.

Tom, thanks for the referral. I think I've found my new Blogger Portrait.
I must say, as a guy who is living in a TOTAL vacuum, I really appreciate the feedback you guys give.
And please pipe up when you see something screwy. (Thanks again for pointing out my arm deficiencies, Tom!)
Tom! It looks like you found my reference for my Superman drawing... and I thought I was exaggerating! Yeesh!
OMG! That link to that Valentino guy??? Can you say..."JUICE?" I think he's had something implanted....like a young child or something. Gross!
But yeah Marty, if I see something weird I'll put the smack down.
