Fresh from APE

Marty made a side trip to Sac following his APE excursion. Had a late dinner at IHOP in West Sac.
Thanks Marty for visiting Captain Down and Out in Trash Town. :)

Once again at the North Park Drawing Group. The model did not show and this young lady volunteered to pose. She gave us a 15-minute clothed pose. I used a General's Sketch Wash pencil with water on regular sketching paper. The model is on a 4-foot-high stage and I was sitting at a standard municipal folding table and folding chair. Most everyone did a full body pose of her on the chair, but I went for a rare shot at portrait. Except for the eyes maybe being a bit too small, I think I have a dead-on likeness even with the oblique angle of having her so high. (The scan shows the water stress on the paper more than I notice it in real life.) I showed her, got a polite smile, and no further interest. Maybe she was just shy. One little compliment from her and I would have given her the picture.
The model eventually showed up at North Park Drawing Group. I tried my luck with a tube of sepia watercolor on real watercolor paper. The model went around to take pictures of people's work, or rather, other people's work. I won't bore you with images of naked women.

Here's some Simon and Kirby to go along with my long Kirby post on the Facebook TAG page.

Time to dump "Groceries"

Buncake's artwork has enjoyed well over a year of basking in the yellow-orange glow of SD Comic Fest's website. It's high time to replace it … and here's the image I've submitted to Mike Towry for that purpose.

I hope you all notice Marty's artwork in there. He and Eric are the only ones from our old TAG group who have signed on for Artist Alley at the next Fest (Feb 12-15, 2016). That's Presidents' Day weekend, as well as Valentine's Day. A great time to plan a sweetheart of a trip to San Diego just before the Town & Country Hotel's east side gets totally demolished.

As of today, applications are being accepted from the general public for the half-dozen or so spots still unclaimed in the Alley. Priority will be given to previous participants, but there are already quite a few people waiting in the wings. If any of you are interested in getting in, you need to tell me right away; otherwise, you don't have a prayer.

Inktober starts tomorrow

Time for Inktober starting tomorrow.

Instead of cheating like I planned and doing about 5 sketches before the start, I decided to work on this strip.

I'm going to fill all the blank panels today.

Tom Moon. Do you watch the female MMA fighters. I don't much. The occasional highlight reel. I would like to see Ronda Rousey fight Cyborg.

Someone loaned me a DVD. He claims that Ronda wins almost all her fights with armbars.

Inktober#1

This is Inktober 9. I wanted to be ahead so I'd commit to 31 drawings.

I'll batch them all in one post on my Moldbreaker blog in a couple of days.

A Step-by-Step for the Young'ns

No tracing. Just stiff naturally. A little something to ground the students for our big anatomy illustration assignment.

I want all the muscles labeled and stuff...is this too retrograde for the 21st Century?

I heard they're making a "Blade Runner 2" (a title that in itself defies belief). I comfort myself imagining Ben Montag's outrage (...but I touch myself imagining Jim Gorham's fury).
