Another Beery, Inky Friday Afternoon

It's a pleasure meeting my friend R. Gagnon for our weekly confab and collaboration at the bar. He shares his knowledge and seemingly endless collection of movies, comics and pop music, while his technique helps me improve my style. Meanwhile, I think I inspire him, give him someone to bounce off of, and let him loosen up a bit, drawing-wise. It's a nice break, especially since I'm not that social a person.

Anyhow, here's last evening crop of collaborative and other types of drawings. Above is a drawing by Gagnon, inked by me. Looks like a member of Devo talking to the cableknit guy.


Below is a kindly old man, first treated by Rick, who had a better view of him, and then made creepy and cadaverous by me, who had to steal glances from behind my back.




For this husky guy I pushed Rick to make a bit less well-manicured in the inking, while he lamented that I missed the opportunity to portray a truly heroic gut in my pencil drawing.


Simple and fast. My sketch, Rick's ink:


Rick signs off by mocking a birthday celebrant at another table.
