“«Non pretenderei troppo da lei» arrischiai. «Non si può ripetere il passato. »
«Non si può ripetere il passato?» fece lui incredulo. Ma certo che si può! »
Si guardò attorno sconvolto, come se il passato fosse in agguato nelle ombre della casa, appena fuori portata delle sue mani.
«Rimetterò tutto esattamente com’era prima» disse facendo un gesto energico col capo. «Vedrai.»
Parlò molto del passato, e ne dedussi che cercava di ritrovare qualcosa, forse un concetto di se stesso che era scomparso nell’amore per Daisy. Da allora la sua vita era stata confusa e disordinata; ma se poteva ritornare a un certo punto di partenza e ricominciare lentamente tutto da capo, sarebbe riuscito a scoprire qual era la cosa che cercava… (…)
Gatsby credeva nella luce verde, il futuro orgiastico che anno per anno indietreggia davanti a noi. C’è sfuggito allora, ma non importa: domani andremo più in fretta, allungheremo di più le braccia…e una bella mattina…
Così continuiamo a remare, barche contro corrente, risospinti senza posa nel passato.”
Il Grande Gatsby – Francis Sott Fitzgerald

A very rough tracing sketch where I had to invent many of the details -- like the odd eyes and nose --because I couldn't find them in the photo, which shows my rank beginner status in drawing and ignorance of anatomy. Even though this doesn't look quite right I've decided to show it anyway, for now, simply as another example so far of my nondoodling fumbling around with iPad art apps. I might replace it with an improved version or, more likely, just delete it in a few days. You can see why I often retreat to patterns or abstract forms that don't have to resemble anything accurately.
By the way, that glass of beer is just as big in the photograph.
Here's the flickr photo my drawing is somewhat based on (my apologies to the photographer for not doing justice to his wonderful picture): www.flickr.com/photos/sashimanek/42102520/
I spend many hours browsing through flickr and looking again and again at my many favorites, which include some amazingly good line drawings. So if you want to see how good digital drawing can be, one place you can start is to look is at my flickr Favorites. For example, don't miss the drawings of Tom Pokinko and of Julio Giacomelli. Then look at their other drawings and the flickr groups linked to their drawings. I should put together some galleries of my favorite flickr drawings.
Lunchtime life drawing session at work. 90 seconds, done with zen brush app on iPad (using a 1 pixel brush). I like the way the pen bleeds when i stop moving the stylus - it has a bit of a felt marker feel.

Trying to get that Ezra scowl down. It's hard. Sometimes when he gets upset with something, he'll stand there, pouting, with his furrowed brows and slowly look at you off to the side. It's pretty inspiring.
Playing with using processing to animate input hand-drawn artwork. Going for something different from Zach Lieberman's "Drawn," but any references for image manipulation/analysis would be appreciated.
I drew in ink with my left hand and then decided to 'cheat' and add some shading and color with my right hand. The color in this one is digitally altered.
Drawing on location in Natural History Museum. A little kid came and sat next to me and drew the bear as well. I tried to give him some tips, but I think he was a bit too shy for that. He was good for a 5 year-old though.
Graphite and pastel pencil
