Trying New Things.


This little fellow, who actually is a very large fellow (Gymnogyps californianus: 9.8' wingspan), is made out from watercolor pencils. I have had them for absolutely forever without ever actually using them for anything more serious than ridiculous doodles and/or drawing on skin. (They are really fantastic for that.) Today I thought "WHY NOT?" and made a Condor with them. Because I love Condors. Because birds are amazing. And, so far, 2/5 of my posts have been birds. BACK ON TRACK he is the first little thing I've made with that medium and I'm still not entirely sure what I'm doing, which I know shows at least a lot of bit, but I am determined and my next attempt will be about six or seven times better. Or at least I'll pretend that I did every bit the way I did on purpose.

We'll see.

Until next time, enjoy your life and be a fun person and look at some birds - they really are beautiful.

Jorge.

One day I will draw something that is not an animal, but that day is not today. (Actually I did some flowers the other day but I didn't like them because they are not finished yet.)


This is Jorge. He was a guppy, but he died.

Goodbye, Jorge.
