Blue Footed Booby


This is a Blue Footed Booby, drawn from a photo in my friend's National Geographic Calendar. Wait, maybe it was the World Wildlife Federation (which still makes me think of Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Savage, and the other WWF superstars of my youth). Well, let's say that the calendar in question was put out by an organization-to-be-named-later that really likes birds and whales and whatnot and that also happens to take some very fine photographs. Also, anyone who is snickering at the word "booby" should hang their head in shame for being almost as immature as I am.

  1. Some really nice drawings on here, was wondering if you'd like to feature some of your work on artfist.org as part of our artists' showcase?
    We exhibit your images on the site, along with any links to your website/contact info you want.
    Check out the site and see if it's something you'd be interested in.

  2. Your drawings are inspirational. If i may ask, what paper did you use for this drawing, it looks very unique and adds to the character of your drawing.

  3. Thanks a lot Stephanie, that really made my day. I'm using the oatmeal color Recycled Paper Sketchbook from Utrecht art. They seem to keep them in stock pretty regularly in the stores or you can order one from http://www.utrechtart.com/Utrecht-Recycled-Paper-Sketchbook--Hardcover--70lb--80-oatmeal-color-sheets-MP42420-i1009513.utrecht. I really like the feel of the paper and the way the tone offsets the drawings, especially when I'm working in ink.
