character analysis

There are people...

...many of whom hide their true identity...behind the iron curtain

and then there are characters -- individuals who devote 100% of themselves to being who they want to be and don't feel the need to tone it down for anyone. In life and in art, it's the characters I am drawn to the most.

There's something about a cowboy in an airport...I love it!

OMG!!!! These are great! These sketches really showcase your talent. Non-sketchers really don't appreciate how disciplined and talented you have to be to render a person with the minimal lines that you do. This is something I wish I could do....

Love this sketch. It's so full of character and the colors are so subtly added - just enough to flesh out the sketch. I can see why you are attracted to depicting people who let it all hang out. They make interesting subjects.

...and I thought I was the only crazy character at the airport to sketch and analyze all the people, pets and parcels. Oh the places we go.
