Priorities!



Almost didn't make it to Drink n Draw last night, but I'm glad I did. I told myself I HAD to clean the bathroom (company's coming over on the weekend and I might not have time tonight. Oh and if you feel like dropping by my pad, now is the time. The place is looking cleaner than it has in a while. But I digress...) and I had to finish a long overdue commission for my friend, Twyla.
.
Twyla's is the first pic and it turned out better than I thought as I don't consider myself too good at drawing from actual human people. It's a tricky business.
.
And why add this shitty Iron Man? I guess just to prove to myself that I did some drawing yesterday. We did lots of chatting and I had a great tme, but I didn't exactly bust my hump to finish any pieces.
.
This is only the third time I've drawn Iron Man. I always avoided him because I've never been too good at drawing robots and tech stuff, but a kid paid me 5 bones to draw Iron Man at the Calgary Expo and low and behold, I enjoyed it and the kid did too. It's also encouraging to see talented artists like Eric Canete and Skottie Young tackling ol' shellhead, as their style is more animated and their renditions still look great.
.
"You can't win with robot junk!" ??? Just ask Fiona.
