Gargoyle Genie

Seems I'm on a bit of a Gargoyle kick here. This is a quick sketch, inspired by a photo of a gargoyle, that happened to be on my drawing table. I took the photo somewhere in Europe, maybe Paris, I can't recall. I have recently assembled a set of flat file drawers for storing and organizing my artwork, and was able to clean up my studio a little. The kids were anxious to see how things now looked in "Daddy's office," so we spent some time out there this evening, exploring and having a bit of fun.

I drew this with chocolate colored Derwent drawing pencil on 50 lb. Strathmore. It is © Chris Chuckry.

Thanks for stopping by.

Well, I've been really distracted when it comes to updating this blog. So, here's a new piece. It was originally intended for Illustration Friday, but I couldn't finish it by the deadline. I was going to use it for the theme "Missing", but was late. Then I thought I could use it for "Hollow," but missed that deadline too.

In order to overcome my drawing/painting inertia, I've joined the Visual Literacy program, offered by the Illustration Academy. It's an online learning environment with a bunch of great illustrators and teachers, who are able to offer personal critiques and advice. I'm hoping it will help me get to the next level in my career. It should also improve the frequency of my posts here--I hope.

Thanks for looking.
