Camp Sketching

I went camping this weekend and missed the sketch group. I was glad to hear that Jeremy and Dan picked up the torch and kept the group alive.

I was able to do a little bit of sketching despite being eaten alive by mosquitoes. Also made an art card, a little campfire fairy.

tanning, pens, and copic markers

Nice sketches Gary. love the monkey and that third page of faces especially.

It was hot today, but got some good sketching done i think.
I took my Copic brush tip markers today (grey scale) and used those, think i'll be doing that from now on.
Found a cool little beach/docking area down on the water front, lady was sun tanning there and was kind enough to let me sketch her, good times.

Toned Paper

So I was really digging drawing with the toned paper. While I am out drawing each week I find myself drawing a lot of people, and not a lot of environments. Well, today I really had a lot of fun changing my pace a little bit. Looking forward to many more of these. I have been wanting to improve my environmental abilities. These quick little sketches were great practice. Good times.

beautiful day for sketching

wow this was a really fun day, i feel like i got some fun sketching done. Starting to let go and capture on paper what i remember the person looking like, and capturing their personality, instead of constantly trying to record what they look like line for line.
had alot of fun today.

oh man, how was that? i wanted to go but was out of town. Nice sketches too, i saw the platform down there, figured those vehicles were going for a dunk.
