So at the drawing club I've come to realize that I haven't experimented enough due to ego and a sprinkling of people looking over my shoulder to see what I'm doing.  So thanks to Bob Kato, this week I decided every 5-15 minute pose had to include a different tool to make the image.  And to just rip off the ego band aid I am putting them all here to just tell myself be OK with taking chances.  So here they are in all their mistakes and surprises.  I have one I really like so I'm going to photoshop it up a bit but here's the rest from last night.  All done with a combo of brush pens, microns, prismacolors, flat head calligraphy, copics and watercolor.

Over at the Think Tank our task was creating a 5th member to the Madagascar crew, A Gorilla.  We blatantly stole this task from the amazing Mark Mcdonnell.  
Here were the studies I made over that day and you can see both our finished paintings over at The Think Tank.  
We have quote clues to where we are heading for the next weeks task.

Arr together now!

This was me playing with a different style and process than I usually do.
