Ehukai Beach

Ehukai Beach is on the world famous Hawaiian North Shore.
It’s claimed to be one of the best surf spots on the face of the planet, especially in winter.
I see this boy standing upon the beach, maybe leaning up against his car with his friends…
His board strapped to the roof rack and an endlessly long scarf wrapped around his neck.
Watching the water with as much lust as others watch the opposite sex.

P.S. The original actually has two inches of solid black border on both the right and the left.
If you look close enough you can see that the lines on those sides aren’t perfectly straight.
That’s because it was done by hand, chipmunk. Ain’t that cool?

Charcoal on 90lb. paper, 16” x 20”, freehand.

Original unavailable.

    Fantastic job, love how you did the hair.

    This hair is epic. I have no idea how the hell I did it, and I’ll probably never draw such beautiful hair again. It was a fluke or something… a complete twist of lucky fate.

    Hey I’ve been to that beach, some years ago.
    The waves suck out from the shore so quickly and I witnessed a local surfer coming in with half a board strapped to his leg. Huge waves.. those guys are insane!
    Brilliant charcoal Cinquain, you really know this medium :)
