Mr. A. and Mike: "The Floor Guys" and Others at J's, BOOK GIVEAWAY WINNER, THE BOOK!

            by Carlos Ubillus
On Wednesday, not my normal day there, I had lunch at Taco Jalisco's.
 
The "Floor Guys" were there!
 
Carlos was there too.
 
He came by my table and saw that I was drawing the floor guys (lower photo, far left)
 
so he went back behind the counter and drew them too on the back of his order pad. (top photo)!
 
It's really fun having an artist friend to draw with this way! Thanks Carlos, for letting me post your wonderful drawing.
 
Another fun thing was coming home and showing my DH my ink drawing of the two men, and hearing him say: "Oh yeah, it's the guys who did our floors!"
 
See me smile huge!
 
Two guys KNEW WHO I had drawn!
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



Then I drew all these folks. This begins my second year of drawing at Taco Jalisos. So maybe the beginning of BOOK 2! The Couple" is there on the right, but I had to draw him in front of her due to who I could see when, because of the crowd... the guy on the right with the cap is one guy drawn in two views. The dark man far right was sitting right in front of me.
 


 Another day "The Couple" is back now by the window.
 
I think I've drawn the guy in front with the tie before.


This was a rainy day. I swear almost everyone who came in was wearing black! 
The two guys on the right are talking across the table to two other guys in black.

 I sure love drawing at Taco Jalisco!
 
Linking these drawings over at Paint Party Friday!
Follow there via the icon on my side bar.
Lots of great art to see.

  5. Congrats to Lolo. It will be a fun book to have.
    I don't see much difference in your two drawings of the floor guys.
    They look the same, yours might look a little younger but wow you both captured
    the same features and look.You just keep getting better and better.

  6. Love your work! How fun it is to see these people...funny how the last painting was mostly black. Maybe they all sent out a memo because they knew you would be sketching them. haha I still haven't ventured out and sketched in a public place, I need to tho. Happy PPF!

  16. These are amazing sketches! I learned to draw by using books by Lee Hammond and while the end products are great, I kind of skipped the whole learning how to just sketch. Your work is very inspiring though, makes me want to go out and buy a journal and get to practicing!

  20. Taco Jalisco sure seems like a popular place. It's always very crowded there. Love how your portrait and the portrait by Carlos are almost the same. Both very good in capturing faces and expressions.
