Dean C. Graf's Faves

Silly old mother Gertrude and her dead mans brains.

This is my first time sketching a wolf. I saw some pictures online like this, so I decided to make my own version of it. Hope you like it

Born and lived in Canada my whole life, the only thing I look forward to in summer would be beach bum times!

When I look at this older drawings. I just think... Awwwr, I've got to doodle again.

I was going for a surreal and moody feeling—dystopian, sort of not. Per usual, my inspirations are pretty noticeable. I am starting to get more comfortable being stylized. I am trying to put emotion in my landscapes. I used Rebelle 6

Most evenings, I watch a couple of news programs streaming on my computer. During that time, I also make it a point to draw a person (usually from an on-line reference photo) with a No.2 yellow pencil (generally Ticonderoga) on whatever paper is handy on my desk. It's good practice and keeps my hands busy. These are some "News Doodles" done this past week.

Eldritch is another wonderful word that I get no chance to use in regular life. That is probably good? https://www.instagram.com/p/CqbBaM9pgJu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

When one day ends another starts, don't allow yourself to think about the day when it's the end, because, at the beginning of tomorrow, there is always a start.
