Sleeping on the Job, could be hazardous...

Here is
another old drawing I did by hand back in 2003, not sure what inspired
this one. I loved it after I drew it though. I am still working with
Gimp. Thus the reason for all the older drawings. I love to free hand
draw on sketch paper or drawing paper, I then scan them on to the
computer with a scanner. Usually I ink them first on tracing paper. It
is a lot faster but I don't always like the look I get from it. Lot of
artist ink straight to their sketch, I don't know why but I always feel
like I am destroying my art when I do that. I guess something I got to
work on. This piece I inked with Gimp and my tablet. It took a long,
long, long,  time to get this one inked. I am learning new tricks each
week. I stated last post I usually watch each Friday night he broadcast
Lartist at work with Lar Desouza. He uses windows and Magna studio and
Photo shop and draws straight to his wacom tablet screen. I can't afford
that but hope to upgrade to a Wacom Bamboo Create soon. That is if our
Government has not let us go over the fiscal cliff, all they have been
talking about and trying to work on at the time I created this post…
Fingers crossed… Well I hope someone is enjoying these and feel free
to comment and critique as you wish… Hope everyone had a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year and it is prosperous for us all everyone!
All over the world…
Thanks for  your time…
