More collaboration and beer

Was late with my posts for "Gagnon Friday," which are sketches Rick Gagnon and I draw while having a Friday evening beer at the Cock N' Bull pub in Montreal. These first two portraits are all Gagnon's work, done almost as we were leaving the place.



I could have called Saturday "Gagnon and Thériault Saturday," because I met again with Rick G. and comic artist Éric Thériault at another dive, called the Bar des Pins.

Here's a character by Éric and a background by Rick:



Below, something I drew all by my lonesome, the view out the bar window on that pleasant, snowy Saturday evening (and at the side, the deflated pumpkin in the shop window I posted about a while back). Éric kind of took apart some of my other drawings, but I was asking him to, and learned from it. Only later did I get in a bad mood, and get the feeling I could never draw anything again.

That feeling passed, at least. It's always been tough for me to accept and use criticism, but one of the things I'm working on, on my path to become a better artist.
