No More Smiles, cartoon for book, Hardball and Riley, The Ultimate Package.

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.

Portrait of an imaginary robot woman. And attempt to use up old markers and short pencil crayons - whatever I've got left.

In his seventies, this guy was a great model. Fun to draw. Lots of character.
