The Other Day I Got Myself a Pencil

I draw things and people that are on my mind.

I always struggled drawing hands before anyone told me what to do. So here is a HANDy dandy drawing reference to see the steps on an actual hand. There are three big muscles in the palm. The thumb lump is most important because without it you’ll never even get the shape right. Circle up the knuckles and draw bendy lines (red) to connect them. Make sure the fingers go from medium-tall-short-shortest just slightly (index=>pinky finger). Notice the big red squareish shape around the palm-that’s the first thing I do. Note: every infer has 2 knuckles don’t forget the thumb does too…just in a weird way.

I’m re-posting this so it’s on my tumblr and I can reference it as needed, because I am an awful fucking cartoonist, but I live in hope.

Sunday doodle: a somewhat upset Hugh Jackman.

For this drawing I used Graphik Line Makers in sizes 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2, as well as my Montblanc 144.G filled with Noodler’s FPN Van Gogh Starry Night Blue, together with a water brush. 

Happy Sunday!

Ink drawing of Domhnall Gleeson, a fantastic actor who somehow ended up being in some of my favourite movies over the past few years including Ex Machina, About Time, Never Let Me Go, Anna Karenina, and of course Stars VII and the last few Harry Potter movies. You may have spotted him in other movies such as The Revenant, Brooklyn, Unbroken, Frank, Calvary and in a thought-provoking episode of Black Mirror. Needless to say I may or may not have developed a wee crush on Mr Gleeson. And the best way to get a crush out of my system is by transferring him out of my head onto a piece of paper. For this drawing I used my Waterman Forum Agora Venezia with some lovely Diamine Amber ink.
