Description I was having a bad day, and was doodling some things during a quiet moment at work (often the only time I really have to draw recently) and this fabulous older gent in a fancy hat and striped shirt walked over to me from seemingly nowhere at all. I instantly knew him to be an artist (the hat always gives it away), and he asked me if I was drawing or writing. I said drawing, and he smiled. ‘Good, I’m an artist too!” (nailed it.) Then, he grinned and said ‘drawing is really the only thing that keeps you from going crazy, isn’t it?’ We both burst out laughing and nodded. Then he wandered away. I like to think he was my spirit animal.

It’s true though, isn’t it? Need to get the derp and the crazy out of your system, need to draw your out thoughts and imagery debris, or you’ll clog an artery or something.

Anyway, here are some doodles from that day and beyond.

Pssst, any recommendations for good animal anatomy resources? Like, skeletal structures and muscles and locomotion, etc etc.

Was this done in ordinary pen? I ask because I love how people can take simple writing tools and make such beautiful art. Like who needs your fancy forty dollar art pen. I can do something wonderful with a pen I picked up at the bank.

Yeah, just a knock-off bic pen, haha. My absolute favourite tool! Honestly, they have the best control, best range of tone... feels like using a pencil, just with a bit more oomph (and permanence!) Thank you very much

The only 'pricey' pen I own is a $15 re-fillable brush pen, only because it has the best precision I've ever seen (also, re-fillable!)
