Artist's Comments

this is intended for scraps, but i'll move it later because i'm always scared some people forget to check the 'scraps' box when they add someone to their watch!

an assortment of sketches. these were done at the bagamoyo arts festival where many different tribes in tanzania performed. done with a mechanical pencil, a pentel color brush with black ink, and tria markers. scanned into photoshop where i made some minor edits.

for more sketches check out [link] !

I absolutely love this, and even though it's not a finished piece I think the colors and gestures are so amazing that you shouldn't scrap it ever!!! Love this series of art you've been posting.

This is great. The drawings have such life to them. Great job. What an amazing trip this must have been.
:iconmillus:
truly beautiful and I love your lines
it could be that I will visit Kenya next year and I will have the chance to live with the Massai Warriors and learn a lot from them - of course I will draw a lot

You seen The Thief and the Cobbler?

Just reminded me of that. No doubt the retro 70s colours with glaring animation principles, quirky body shapes and roughly byzantine decorations.

Or maybe i'm just on crack. Either way, if you havent seen the film (which im sure have) you should =)

Oh, sweet! I've been in the tribal mood too :D
You based them off the maasai, eh? ;)

Coolest people on the planet.
