In my attempt to continue improving my drawing skills, I've been doodling regularly using Corel Painter 8 and my Wacom Artpad as well as going through books recommended by my friend Kate Parkinson.

Anyway, my favourite type of drawing these days is the visual equivalent of stream-of-consciousness writing, where I don't really have a particular topic in mind but just let my Wacom pen lead me where it likes. That's how the drawing above got created. I have no idea where it came from except I was in a somewhat melancholy mood at the time.

My current reading material:

Get Fuzzy: Groovitude: By Darby Conley. I won this comic book in the raffle at the National Cartoonists Society Christmas party. Started reading it but got distracted by something else so am finishing it now. LOVE the characters in this comic, especially Bucky. :-)

Bloody Jack: By L.A. Meyer. Thanks to Ruth for telling me about this book for young people. I started it last night and had to force myself to stop reading it because I knew I'd suffer in the morning otherwise, plus it was SO good that I wanted to be able to read it when I was fully awake. Will probably finish it tonight.

An Understandable Guide to Music Theory: The Most Useful Aspects of Theory for Rock, Jazz & Blues Musicians: By Chaz Bufe.
