How goes it? This month we feature a classic article by Wilbur Kookmeyer creator Bob Penuelas that teaches you how to draw a wave in his instantly recognizable style. We've also added some sick new selections to Nick LaVeccia's page - you can check them out here. Hope your holiday season has been pleasant and that you've been blessed with a little north swell goodness over the last couple of weeks.
'Til next time,
The Waveriders Gallery Dudes
 If you’re like me, then you’ve probably spent a lot of time in high school class daydreaming and doodling a thousand perfect cartoon waves on your notebook.
It’s safe to say that ninety percent of us surfers have a habit of scribbling perfect waves whenever a pencil is in our hands.
Hopefully the following pointers will help you change your throw-away wave doodles into actual compelling artwork that you want to keep forever.
Step 1. Sketch in the basic shape of the curl, spray, foam and base of the wave.
Step 2. Add an extra line running parallel and below the curl line to define the thickness of the lip.
Step 3. Add a flow line starting at the lip and curve it around to suggest roundness of the liquid lip. Continue that same flow line around with a half oval down to the base of the wave to show the concave curve of the wave face.
“There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it .” -Henry Moore
