New Year's Resolution: so far so good

So far so good on the whole 1-drawing-a-day resolution for 2013. 
Today's the 20st, and here are 21 drawings (ahead of schedule, woohoo) . 

Still taking submissions from /r/redditgetsdrawn, navigating through the more boring common submissions of babies and couples* and head-only portraits to find the more interesting poses and gestures. 

I've also started experimenting more with simple coloring, as you may have noticed. 
Process goes like this.

Step 2:  Ink ink ink it out by hand with a pen:

Step 3: Upload it on a computer and play around with some colors:

Usually takes about an hour from start to finish. Will try to keep it up for as long as I can. 


*despite finding most 'couples' shots boring to draw, some (like above) can still be interesting and compelling. The loose pencil drawing at the top of this blog post was submitted with the title "The love of my life recently passed away"-- tragic bike accident.
