Duncano Wellero's Faves

I have female friends who are big science fiction fans. The is for them.

I hope to make a funny little book from this idea. Any suggestions?

This is a stream of consciousness drawing. Turned out okay.

Erinn, a fantastic model, sits on a little podium.

A self-portrait.

Emma holds a mug. I like drawing hands and faces, so why not have them closer together?

Sometimes it's not just the face that make the drawing, but the cloths that fit.

I ran a figure drawing class in Victoria, B.C. for a couple years. It was a lot of fun and my drawing got better quickly.

This was a twenty minute drawing for a figure drawing sessions in Victoria, B.C..

This drawing, with a bit of watercolour, was done years ago in North Vancouver during a figure drawing session. Probably 15 - 20 minutes. Watercolour, subtly employed, can have wonderful affects. The challenge of working fast forced me to ditch excess thinking. And it's funny, because at first I thought, "Oh, this is terrible." Then the next day, with fresh eyes, or checking out the drawing in a mirror, I think, "Wow! How did I not see how good this is?" Never throw out your artwork immediately after a drawing session. Give them a few days and look at your work with fresh eyes.

This is a quick sketch I did of a shirtless man on a bus.

This is probably a 15 minute sketch, maybe less, done in a drawing session in Victoria, B.C.

When I lived in Victoria, B.C. I ran a figure drawing session for the local illustrator's society. Often I would head over to other drawing sessions. This is one run by a local gallery.

Doodling will give you ideas for projects that you didn't expect. The characters for my book, Flight of the Silk, came from sketches. This picture is one illustration for the book.

This is Tim. Tim was shy until he discovered that he was a great model and he was the women's favourite male model for out sessions.

One of my favourite drawings. You can tell I was really on that day. So few strokes of the pencil caught shape and light. I won't sell this drawing.
