Toned Paper

Please ignore the large donut shaped person!!

The well dressed gentleman in this drawing was a kid I sat next to/near whilst bleeding empathy for how cool he was and deeming myself utterly unworthy of being his *pew mate.  I sadly hav forgotten his name but I shall not forget his sense of style or how my jaw dropped when he told me of his success. Three degrees I believe it was, civil engineering, something else, and now architecture. He new everything there was to know about every car ever created, he knew everything about films from director, to photography managers, to actors/actresses, to the drama that happened on set. I'm pretty sure he was just a walking encyclopedia of suaveness. Another thing- other artists will love this- his profile.. DID NOT MATCH HIS FRONTAL VIEW! It was like a whole other person. (which is kinda why and how we met)

NOTE: *our class was in a church, we sat in pews

This is just a sketch done on toned paper while at work. Was pleased with how the copic marker created a shadow. I'm trying to play with various styles. 

A Girl I Once Fell For

Beautiful Amber. :)

Warm up sketch

New Sketchbook, New Techniques

Been rather busy and forgetful as of late, here is an update on some new skills I have learned and a new style I'm trying out.

I made a new sketchbook which is 100sheets of cardstock 100lb half white and half antique grey. I am very thrilled with this although I wish they had some darker cardstock than this light grey, but I can just throw some tone on it and mess with pulling lights and darks. The point is that it is cardstock and soaks up ink and watercolor. It's the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

Til next time.. keep it classy San Francisco. :]

Something To Look At

So a few friends started a group called the Environmental Sketch Club of which meets three times a week. This past Saturday we went to the Wharf and I practiced my water colours and I think I'll practice a lot more often now.
