Within this sketch, you can see that I was fighting the looseness a bit. The essence of the loose style is present, but I don't feel that is it as successful as the slender zombie I presented last week. I feel like the fault lies with the detail. Although in some areas it works better than others, the arm for instance, but I feel like it flattens other areas, the legs and shoulder. This one also belongs to the 11x17 folded set.
The second night he'd slept here, Rocco overheard two contractors discussing the pending renovation of the Alta Viso. The old business plaza had approval pending as an historical landmark.

Here's a naughty portrait of Krampus to help celebrate Krampusnacht!
More loose zombie goodness from some time ago. This looser style is very visually pleasing in retrospect, but at the time I remember being frustrated with the loose shapes and lack of explicit detail. I wish I could let go more to explore this style, I enjoy the organic quality of the shapes. I can't imagine inking it though. My inking process is very controlled.
More loosely sketched zombies and poses this week. With the larger portrait I brought in a fine point marker for more detail. I usually keep my imagery very separate, but with the looseness of these sketches, the images all began to blend together. 
Ron shifted in his seat and took a large bite of his cinnamon pastry. The Quis Terra cafe was in full morning rush. A line of customers ran from the cash register to the door and most of the seats were occupied. He took several sips of his fresh latte. The morning had been chilly and he enjoyed the warmth in his mouth. He heard someone talking loudly when the door to the cafe opened.
