From whimsical electronic drawings to very serious gorillas in graphite
You may recognize these guys as gorillas I have drawn before, but this one is from a slightly different shot. I was very interested in the way the gorilla on the left is studying his/her hands(even though the right hand gorilla's face is more of the focal point). I've been working on these guys for a couple of days and they're 11x14, so I couldn't scan the entire drawing. I had to cut off much of the gorilla on the right, but I kind of like the crop anyway.
I slept for 10 hours last night. It seems that since I've been home from vacation, I've been out doing things constantly and then I had to work yesterday, so I was zonked last night. I actually fell asleep at about 10:00. And yes, even night owls have to swallow our pride and do this once in awhile. So, I shouldn't be able to say that I'm sleepy, but I kind of am. I think it's the mixture of the weather and the idea that I have to go to work. But I will probably wake up a bit when I actually do get up off the couch. Have been reading and computing (with a tiny exercise break) all morning.

I really like this drawing, Anne. I wonder what the gorilla is thinking as he looks at his hand....I bet he needs a manicure. Very nice.
I heart this drawing. it is very interesting and filled with personality and intrigue. great job. i'd love to see the whole thing live and in person.
I'm jealous of your 10 hours of sleep--but understand getting worn out and that sometimes it takes a few good nights to rest up. Work is so tiring too...at least as far as I can remember : )
Hoping your evening at the library is going well!
Keep drawing! Glad your dry spell seems to have left.
