Belleville Drink N Draw Feb 2026

 

5x8

ink in sketchbook

This past Wednesday was our February meet-up for the Belleville Drink N Draw at Egan's Pub. There was a decent turnout and we had a great time with some good conversations and sketchin.' There was a small blip when a patron (not one of ours) went down hard and luckily an off-duty Detroit paramedic was right there when he went down and the guy received immediate attention. He seemed ok, but they decided to take him to the hospital anyways for safe measure. At that point, I wasn't sure what I wanted to work on, so sketched the scene. The image is a little blurry on the side there because of the sketchbook spine, but you get the idea.

A Scratchboard Gentoo

scratchboard/clayboard

Last week a group of us visited the Detroit Zoo for a penguin experience where we could feed and interact with them. There were gentoos, rockhoppers, macaronis and even a king came to visit. 

Then a few days later, I got together with art pals Mary and Jennifer and I worked on this scratchboard gentoo based on some sketches made up from my photos. The plan is to add some color on the beak.
