Long weekend and have a happy 4th
Been working. Time to draw the Nina stories have taken a big hit, so the planned book of Paper Biscuit 3 is on hold. I've worked out the issue and roughed out an outline but have had to leave it alone. I'll get back into it in a few weeks. Be really ahead for next year, eh? I tried to do a little ditty for San Diego -- not Nina based--but even that turned into something larger. I gotta learn to make smaller stuff.
Drawing done in Photoshop with a customized brush. Image at the top of the post links to a larger image. This detail for those who couldn't be bothered.
Drawing has been opening more aspects of relaxation in the line. When you relax and not put the mind into a performing stance the images appear. I wonder if there are exercises to achieve this with more certainty. Or maybe it is just time. Whatever it is, I am having the best time ever drawing (that I can still say that amazes me no end). And, even though I can't draw for myself every day, I have this kind of hunger I know I can rely on later to bring me to that spot.
Rambling now ceasing. I bring you back to your regular programming. Happy fourth, people!

As always Ronnie, cool drawing. Too bad you won't have anything for SDCC, but I look forward to when it is published. Have a great 4th.

Happy 4th of July, Ronnie, love your work. I'm sorry that I can't make it to the SDCC, if you have any new Paper Biscuit works be sure to send them towards Ben's Nucleus booth or store. It will be wonderful to see your pre-ordered works again.

It's wonderful to see some of your drawings again. I eagerly anticipate PB 3, and whatever else you're working on at the moment too!

Ronnie,
Maybe, it is a blessing in disguise that you won't have a book for San Diego. You guys work too hard. It is a chance for you just to wander and explore the Con rather than just be stuck at a booth.
Just started my new job. My sabbitical was great. Incorporated Yoga into my daily life. Started to hike every weekend in places like Sonoma and Marin.
Take care and look forward to your new book.

Beautiful drawing! Nice hand-made look mixed with a digital quality.
Sometimes I think executing personal art projects can be like grocery shopping when your hungry. Takes on a life of its own...Anyways, Lookin forward to the next Nina publication!
