A sketch of the Spring Preserve Park with Vegas skyline behind. I was sitting in the balcony of the Wolfgang Puck's Cafe eating my lunch before checking out the park.. Great food with great view!

More Funkiness and Dr. Sketchy's




More Funkiness... For some reason, I'm not feeling with the Sun...
Sorry, my scanner is bad... Its a cheap flatbed type and I do not know why its showing 2 line marks on it.. Pretty annoying.. Blah



Figure drawing session of a Burlesque Performer dressing up like one of those sticker of a Chiquita lady you see on a Banana. It was my first time doing a figure drawing session in a long time until I found out about Dr. Sketchy’s in a newspaper.
I really would suggest to take a time to attend to one of their sessions.. It was interesting and quiet a twist to do figure drawings.. Its free to attend and my next session will be a Contortionist model..
For more information about Dr. Sketchy’s, check out here http://www.drsketchy.com/ Also, they have different locations all over the world..

Which way?



I was at a local park yesterday and saw these two Canadian Geese.. I thought to myself what are they doing here in desert..? It is pretty unusual to see them here in a hot climate.. This is what I came up to be pretty funny... Two geese are lost and trying to figure out their way back up to the Great White North.. As you can see there is a comedy reference from an old Canadian movie called "Strange Brew."
Also "Loonie" equal to a Common Loon (it is another Canadian waterfowl), I'm sure these geese doesn't want to be in the same category as a Loon...

New sketches for my Moleskine


Page 1 and 2:
  • Some life studying at a local Casino's Race and Sportsbook while watching a game of Hockey. Also, Barnes & Noble cafe..
  • Study of my foot, faucet, and bubbles from soaking in my bathtub. Lol.
  • An inspiration to draw a Canada Olympic Logo when I was watching the Olympics. I love this logo, very creative and eyecatching than the boring the wordtype USA with rings below it..
  • Just a quick sketch of a customer waiting for their food from El Pollo Loco

Page 3 and 4:
  • I was in Paris Hotel and Casino while I was walking down on the Strip from a Trade Show to get a lunch break. I do not know why, but I had a sudden urge to get something French for lunch (a lunch Crepe) and start drawing something... "Frenchy." As for the translation on the bottom of the page: "De Paris faux avec amour!" means "From fake Paris with love." Oh, I'm sure you can figure out what "Les Toilettes" means...

Page 4 and 5:

  • More studying at a bookstore again, yet... This one is at Borders.. Gotta love the bookstores... Really is the best place to do some life studies. Yet, I don't want to venture in there too much or else my sketchbook will be full of it and end up as "The Sketchbook of Bookstores."
  • As for the quick sketch of a Red Mountain Dew, I was just messing around using red and black ink without clashing in the colours..
  • My pet cockatiel. She was eating her seeds.. Sure enough, it was tricky to get her on paper while she was eating. You know how birds doesn't like to keep their head still every peck of seeds.. Geez..
  • Funky Sky and Tree, all done with Copic Markers. I am trying to conserve these markers.. Since they are the best to use and very expensive! I already have 1 that is out of ink and I need to get it refilled or pay for another one for $5.99...
