Last week I was listening to Stephen King's Bag of Bones, and since I can't just sit and listen, I thought it'd be a good idea to doodle at the same time. I had craved drawing for a while now, but other things had prevented me from sitting and drawing, so this was an exhilarating session. I cranked out like ten pictures or so, none of them too elaborate. They are more sketches and doodles than anything else, but some of them I really like. The one accompanying this post is the last one of the series, and it seems to be a mixture of the Bag of Bones cover, and Hades from the Disney movie Hercules. I was drawing directly with a Sharpie (I just hope the fumes aren't as bad as Jim Lee said), and coloring with my Prisma Color markers. As I said, nothing very elaborate, but I kinda like it. Also, it is refreshing to just doodle for a while, instead of trying to get a detailed, finished-looking piece (some of those coming soon). I do this a lot; I just don't show it. So enjoy this special occassion!

Bag of Sketches

Otro dibujo que mola, calentito, recién sacado del horno. Otra cosa no, pero prolífico eres un rato, finn5fel. Yo diría que estás a punto de igualar a Stephen King en su puesto de la lista: "Personas más prolíficas cuyo nombre no contiene la letra J". Lista encabezada, por supuesto, por Corín Tellado. 4000 libros lleva escritos, ¡por Dios!
"Trata de arrancarlo, Carlos. Trata de arrancarlo."
Hahaha. Si vieras las cantidades de cosas que tengo y no pongo... La cosa es no estar aburrido, ya sea dibujando o escribiendo. Como dice Stephen King sobre por qué escribe(ya que lo citas), si no otra cosa, "at least it passes the time".
Pues es verdad. Lo que me hace recordar: ¿sigues con tus clases de esgrima? Come ti va? Benone, supongo.
Nah, lo dejé. Soy terrible en lo que se refiere a (a) hacer deporte; y (b) hacer deporte organizado. O cualquier otra actividad con un horario fijo que no sea trabajar. Qué pena...
Pero bueno. Tengo que irme a preparar la cena, que alguien viene esta noche...
Sidney Poitier?
Nada de hacer macarrones con queso, ¿eh? Ni de comprar vino de tetra-brik.
Hahaha. No, no es SP. Digamos que es más femenina y desable que el actor. Y no: nada de comprar vino de brick (entre otras cosas, porque no bebo). Y realmente tengo que ir a cocinar, así que ya no escribo más.
Hombre, un buen vino para una buena cena romántica... (porque presumo que es romántica, o, mas bien, lo fue).
Así que ya nos estás poniendo al día, que nos tienes en ascuas, majo. Grrr...Aarrgghhh...
Ya veremos qué os cuento. De momento, no he sabido nada de ella desde el lunes. La cena le gustó, y pasamos un buen rato conversando. Tal vez dos citas fueron demasiado. Ya sabéis el dicho: "un poco de Mario es mucho".
