I spotted this guy at the Farmer’s Market on Sunday and had to sketch him. There was so much more there that I didn’t capture. He was like a living cartoon. Perhaps a relative of Einstein. His face seemed to be frozen into an expression brought about by years and years of newspaper reading. It did seem like a nice routine, though. A relaxing sunny afternoon in the open air, with a newspaper and a glass of wine. Not bad.

I sketched him with mechanical pencil on Sunday and went back over it with a couple brush pens late on Monday, adding the background in from memory.

About Lee-Roy

I’m a Storyboard Artist and Illustrator currently in Los Angeles, where I live with my fiancée, three cats, and several colonies of ants. My earliest memory is as a three-year-old, drawing a picture. About three decades later, the picture is still being drawn. It’s one I never want to finish.
