Old Wrinkled Man

For some reason I love drawing old wrinkly men; they have such personality to them. The big noses, the sagging jowels, the huge domed craniums, and the drooping earlobes. There is such experience, wisdom, and years and years of hard work behind leathered sun-beaten faces like that. This one I did as a doodle on some scrap paper but decided to ink with a brush and throw some washes of color on it. It almost gave it a Chinese look.

Horse Boy

My daughter and I just finished reading "The Horse and His Boy" by C. S. Lewis. I don't know any other 18 month old that asks for C. S. Lewis over Dr. Seuss for a bedtime story.

It was fun to read it again and it made me want to do an illustration for it. I think the colors are overly saturated, but if I keep noodling on it anymore I might go crazy.
