week 4 rain


this was drawn awhile ago, a simple ink sketch on a bar napkin that i came across the other day. i thought it was a good fit for this weeks submission.

originally there was text: maybe its raining... ...but who fucking cares anymore.


okay so here is a cleaned up version of the original sketch, it was inspired by what i was going through after a breakup, where i remember walking in the rain and not feeling a thing, sorry if the strong language offends anyone, but this is about me expressing/dealing with what i was going through.

Ah, dude... This rocks! It's a really lovely drawing. Totally evokes breakup for me. And nah... the words aren't necessary. The pic does it.

What software are you using for your colouring? I'm into Sketchbook Pro 2.0,

You're not the same Patrick Brennan who was at Wits University in the mid-80s? Worked on WITS STUDENT co-writing Nurden, are you?
