I’ve started working in conte again to try and loosen up for figure drawing sessions. ^_^  These two images are the product of such ventures on my recent trips to the zoo!

Kira and Siri

 No, Kira the lioness is not dead. ^_^* She just ALWAYS has her tongue hanging out!  It’s HILARIOUS!

 And a couple cafe sketches:

I read somewhere it is supposed to help with confidence, and generally just improving with art, to draw with pen. 

 Here are some sketches of Marjane Satrapi when I saw her give a lecture in my home city.  It was a very inspring and exciting lecture to attend!  I never would have dreamed I would get to see this amazing woman in person!  I admit I was quite far away, so more of her likeness in the sketches was drawn from what I’ve seen in Persepholis

Since such an exciting subject is not always available, I have taken to practicing pen and animal sketches with my cats!  Nothing too exciting, but I hope it will help me in the long run ^_^

Two cafe sketches I did the other day at the mall. Gotta keep practicing!! ^_^*
