The 86th Oscars!

It is time for the Academy Awards and I couldn't be happier. This year, Matt Benyo and I, have been especially busy. We saw all but 2 of the movies nominated. We didn't get around to seeing Nebraska and we chose not to see Wolf of Wall Street because 3 hours of Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio sounds like hell. Over the past 2 days, I've been working on this. It took me 9 hours. I sketched in pencil and used a Micron in my Moleskin. I wanted to draw someone from each of the movies nominated for best picture. Some of the drawings are good; some aren't, but I'm proud of what I did. Also, Matt Benyo got into the drawing/Oscar spirit and came up with this clever drawing of Elsa from Frozen and said that she needs to win so she can unfreeze the Earth. He's so crazy!
