I have been looking over the daily routine and trying to factor in the things that matter the most. Make it practice, make it perfect. I grew up on a printing press—assisting. I watched as the schedule was adjusted daily. Pushing to do better but never getting too far ahead of ourselves. It was the […]
View post →This is my first post of 2021 so I thought I’d start the year off in style 😉 Here is a fashion illustration made at the Society of Illustrators @soi128 Happy New Year and thank you for supporting One Drawing A Day. Greg Betza ©2021
View post →… my true love said to me, did you know that you just posted the fifth day of Christmas. Maybe it is my upbringing and the lack of the sort of thing in my life as a child, but I am not one for resolutions come the New Year. While I am friendly with Janus and […]
View post →It has been a year like no other around the world. We will have stories to share and for anyone born post-COVID they may never understand the shift in culture. As we settle into the end of the this long and trying year, may we all find a glad tidings in everything that we do. […]
View post →Margaret’s recent post inspired me to dig into my file of older drawings and I found this portrait I made at Disney years ago. I’m 99% sure he was the mayor of main street. Good memories. Greg Betza ©2020
View post →Craft paper that is. I love drawing on colored paper which begs the question why don’t I do it more? Here is a piece from a zoom figure drawing session a few weeks (or maybe months) ago. Greg Betza ©2020
View post →It was either that or “I Wear My Sunglasses at Night” which I figured was too long of a post title. The day rolled by rather quickly, as the past few weeks have. I’ve been looking through some recent drawings, trying to figure out where they fit in the arsenal. Not quite sure just yet […]
View post →Really longing to get out and draw—large crowds. Not going to happen anytime soon but feeling my way around what is possible. This old abstract crowd brought me some joy and hope. A little play to get the thoughts moving.—Dominick
View post →Tuesday’s have always been an off day for me. Even in quarantine I find I am just not myself on Tuesday’s. Hence why so many posts are late in the day—or sometimes never arrive. There is a never ending list of reasons why the day takes a turn. Maybe it’s because I never had […]
View post →Certain elements seem to pop up when you need them most, or maybe you just weren’t ready to see them until the right moment. No matter what, pay attention to everything.—Dominick
View post →A little play on words, pictures, and model. Specksthealmighty1 at Society of Illustrators a few weeks back. Always a blast to draw.—Dominick
View post →Found a stack of sketches from a few years ago that I didn’t remember making. The project has always stayed close to my board, but these were an unexpected memory.—Dominick
View post →Peas, carrots, apples, tomato, basil—the list goes on. Everything but the kitchen sink, but I guess the plates go in there after the meal. Designs for ceramic plates form a few years ago.—Dominick

It’s titled “Accordion.” #ODADarchive I made this drawing of performer, Natasha, at EPCOT in Florida a few years ago. The accordion was wonderfully odd in contrast with her flamboyant costume. […]
