(Edit) ooops… the images didn’t upload last time.

A few pencil studies of my colleague King, posing for me last Tuesday.

What’s the difference between “pencil” and “crayon”?

I just started to study his works and philosophy, I am in awe.
In terms of copy and inspiration, though, I am just an imp.

Late M.

3 studies of M. Who was horribly late, as usual.

He is great friend and model, but, gosh, he is sooo reliably-late every time -_-‘

Moustache

Still life

Study of a dead mouse freshly put to sleep by my cat.

I want to believe that now the mouse has become immortal.
