book

Narwhals, washi tape, patterns galore...or as I like to call it, a standard Friday night.

A couple of octopuses I drew that are going to get some color soon.

Calico kitty in my sketchbook

This little book had several tiny squares/rectangles per page. At first I didn't know how to fill it (2017). Eventually I sketched trees, scenes, birds, animals I'd seen during a days walk. It accidentally became a diary of seasons! Not all my art is nature sketching, I'm a watercolor artist as well. But line and pen drawing, halftone is what I've been up to for a while.

DoodleSchmoodlez 29th Nov. = I love going thru old sketch pads 'n splash watercolor on 'em. Reminds me of e like the last 15 mins of my youngest daughter's swimming lessons - the kidz'd just chill out... think it's sooo important to have fun when learning / cre8ing. https://artdavidmeehan.blogspot.com/p/e.html https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=artdavidmeehan&set=a.1010407775728799 https://www.instagram.com/doodleschmoodlez/ https://twitter.com/doodlingdoodlez

my Mona Lisa

Another page from my drawing journal. I sketch based on photos taken of people, places, things, doings--often same day.

Gone to Gallifrey.

Íde ôu vá pôr lá ôu alli. Go thither. "English as She is Spoke" is a delightful example of incompetence and bad judgement. Jose da Fonseca and Pedro Carolina set out to write a Portuegese-English phrasebook. The only problem was that they didn't speak any English. They did know some French and armed with French-English phrasebook, dictionaries and enthusiasm they brought forth this phrasebook. Mark Twain was an early admirer of this book. "Nobody can add to the absurdity of this book, nobody can imitate it successfully, nobody can hope to produce its fellow; it is perfect, it must and will stand alone: its immortality is secure." #dailydrawing #englishassheisspoke #silliness

There have been many Joker incarnations, and this will be someone's favorite. I like the differences in each actor's portrayal of him.

Sometimes I feel like my drawing is similar to composing music. I start drawing just something and hope that it begins its own life. In this drawing i start from the clouds and doesnt have any idea what it is gonna be at end.

Sometimes the flow of curved lines are what I feel good to me. I just let the pen go.

I enjoy drawing the forms of the back. Especially when classically lit. Pencil, Charcoal Pencil, Pastel Pencils and white Prismacolor pencil on 9” x 12” Strathmore Toned Grey sketchbook paper.
