“The Gambler”

I decided to do this drawing and record it.
It took me about 20 minutes.

The creative process:
I don’t plan ahead, I just start drawing whatever comes to mind.
I usually throw some lines and build upon these.

My favorite tool is a black ink pen.
Sometimes I use pencil but I never erase.
If I don’t like something I just correct on top of it.
The images are faces or people generally.
I don’t care about proportions or aesthetics as you can see.

They look at me after I do these and I can tell what are they thinking: …this guy is creepy or what a freak…but that makes it even more satisfying.
Well, I hope you like it and don’t forget to check out the video down below.
