Roosterfish

My friend Dana loves, and I mean LOVES, fly fishing.  He tried teaching me, it was a disaster.   He's been after me to draw fish, specifically ones he likes and wants to catch.  So after many many months of his requests, here is the rooster fish that he is so eager to get on the end of his line. More fish to come in the near future, Dana and I have plans for these illustrations.

  

New York City Skyline

Today I got out of work early due to a barely functioning AC, which in turn made the office too hot to work in comfortably or sanely.  So instead of heading home to a cool place, I went to the Jersey City waterfront at Exchange Place and sketched downtown Manhattan.  I was aiming to have the drawing fit on one 11x14 sheet of bristol, but ended up using three.  Pictured above are the buildings south of the Goldman Sachs building.  The Freedom Tower is in there; a bit too short and incomplete.  I made a separate drawing of the Freedom Tower on the left which I'll finish and add into the final drawing.   I will probably redraw all this on one large sheet at some point in the near future.  It was a super relaxing, albeit HOT, drawing session.  There was a breeze that made the heat more bearable, but an annoying fly that has made multiple red, itchy marks on my legs.

A Drawing A Day 49-70B

I seem to have dropped the ball with updating my blog.  Oops.  All for good reason: I've been living life and doing things.  Hooray!  This post will bring you up to speed with my A Drawing A Day project, which, so far, has been coming along pretty well despite some minor bouts of forgetfulness.  Here are Drawings 49-70B.
