A bit more of a serious Santa

 Less of a fun Claus and more of a "I think you're on my Naughty List" Santa.

Just gimme that wink

 Santa being a bit sly.

Frosty

 This was a little 2x3 that I thought turned out quite fun.  Kinda have to see it in a frame to appreciate it.

Thanksgiving wiped out The Black Hand Group, so...

...I'll post a few more of the Christmas sketches that are currently up for sale at Roots.

Measure twice, draw once

 I should have taken that advice.  So many false starts and so so finishes.  This one should have turned out better.  Sometimes things just don't go as planned and I knew I should have put this aside and start a new drawing.  Being bull headed sometimes just doesn't pay.

Let there be light

 This was a really nicely lit pose.  Made for a fun study.  Only ten minutes to get it all down, though.  Made for some focused decisions.  That's not a bad thing.

Probably my best effort of the night

 I wish this had been the long sitting.  Although if it were, I might have finished the arms and other aspects.  I think I like this just the way it is.
