Disney: Waiting for the Parade

In the Magic Kingdom, the crowds of people start to line the street as the park is closing, waiting for the Spectral Magic Night Parade that goes down Main Street every night. Here are people settling themselves down to wait for the parade, and the parade is up next!

National Equality March

This past Sunday, October 11, 2009, was the National Equality March: A march on the Capitol in Washington DC demanding the LGBT community's full and equal rights under the law. We marched. And we listened to the speeches of leaders, activists, actors, pop-stars, and Judy Shepard, who lost her son years ago to homophobic violence, and inspired the nation to protect their LGBT children. As we all stood and listened, their words echoed from the Capitol to the Washington Monument, to the White House, to every symbol of freedom, equality, and democracy that had built our nation.

I have always loved gibbons, ever since I was a little kid. They're so graceful but goofy at the same time, and are by far the most adorable of the apes. Their body language is so human, but so strange and distorted. Animal Kingdom had a baby gibbon this year, who I could have sat and watched for hours. Of course, I had other things I had to go and draw, but I couldn't resist drawing them every time I passed by their enclosure.

Disney: The Castle

Everyone was crowded under the castle as it started to rain. I was under shelter too, but the wind still managed to knock my ink bottle over! Thank god for water soluble ink, the rain did most of the cleaning for me!

The Last Days of Summer

I decided to do my homework in Bryant Park today to celebrate the beginning of fall and mourn the end of summer. It was a beautiful day, and people were out enjoying it like their last!

Disney Session: Animal Parade

The parade in animal kingdom is amazing to draw. You can hear the drums starting from way down the street, and your head starts going and your heart starts jumping like a little kid, and then there's an explosion of joy, color, music, and patterns. Plus, it comes by twice, so twice the drawing!

Disney Session: Life Drawing 3

And here are the drawings from the 5th day (we had a museum day on the 4th day because the model got food poisoning, ouch!):
