on my drawing table


I have put some new book page illustrations in my shop .
and....
this is what's on my drawing table today [ click to enlarge ]
I'm in a gallery , Cavalier Galleries which is on Nantucket and I have to do some big paintings for them .
so ... right now I'm thinking and planning bigger beach themed paintings for this fantastic gallery .
My favorite one [ in the photo ] is the mom and her weird little kid .

P.S. > question .... Did you use your Inktense pencils today ?

    I also favor the woman and the little kid but truly, they are ALL fantastic.

    I need some Inktense pencils, magic ones that make me draw like you!

  8. about Inktense >
    I use them dry AND wet

    sometimes i just hit areas with a dry Inktense pencil and then use a wet shader brush
    but when you dip them in water ... the color gets very intense !
    They are so much fun to use on Luane plywood
    and on fabric and of course paper
    I like illustration board .

    You have to try them !
    You have to experiment ...... I just love Inktense
