Today has been very busy, and I hadn't prepared a post! So enjoy these old sketches from a drink n draw at 3rd Ward. These were all 10-20 minute poses, with marker and pen.

Two drawings and two dreams, all unrelated
Saturday: it’s windy and feels like l’automne; fans dormant and kitchen window lowered almost shut, so things on the table there don’t wind up on the floor. one. I was traveling in some parallel Europe; Scandinavia, and without much in the way of maps or even plans. Improvising. I followed a couple out of a… Continue reading Two drawings and two dreams, all unrelated
Drawing people and feeding sea birds
Another half day spent at the beach, and two more people added to the sketchbook. I also made a silly little movie of sea birds —fluttering, fighting, and diving as they do— posted on Instagram. The drawings before adding the sky and joined them into one scene:
One week: 100 people [days 6-7]
Well, I'm sorry to report that I lost steam in this challenge! Saturday was a scorcher, and I did these few drawings while waiting for the ferry and at the beach, but not enough. And Sunday, well, Sunday I was exhausted and the thought of 36 more drawings was too much. I will continue drawing… Continue reading One week: 100 people [days 6-7]
One week: 100 people [days 3-5]
Well, I took up this challenge Monday (17th), and it's now the 22nd, making today day six, but these are drawings from days three through five, and not in order. Just haven't had time to finish and scan everything. So, I'm only at 58, which means I must aim to draw 42 more today and… Continue reading One week: 100 people [days 3-5]
1 week : 100 people [day three]
Well I nearly made it to 42 yesterday, on the ferry and at the beach. I'm only posting one spread today, as there is more work to be done on the rest of them. Some watercolor and inking, probably. Stay tuned for more!
1 week : 100 people [day two]
I'm behind where I ought to be; only 23 people after two days. Yesterday I slowed down, took my time. As I did, I wanted it to be about quality over quantity— yet the challenge itself is all about quantity! I will endeavor to catch up, and in the meantime hone my skills; try to… Continue reading 1 week : 100 people [day two]
1 Week : 100 People [day one]
This month, Urban Sketchers Chicago is holding a 1 week 100 people symposium. I'm not there, but have only recently heard of this particular challenge, so I decided to give it a whirl. (They do it in 5 days, but I'm going to allow myself seven, as 7 days makes a week.) Anyway, I did… Continue reading 1 Week : 100 People [day one]
Black ink bleeds into paint; makes the colors more tertiary
I tried a different approach for this first one— paint first, ask questions later. But when later arrived I decided not to go back in with ink at all; I rather like the floaty quality of it, so left it as is. Above is one I drew earlier in the week out at the beach—… Continue reading Black ink bleeds into paint; makes the colors more tertiary
These are people observed at bars over several weeks
More from the sketchbook with the paper I'm not keen to work on. The book is finished (enough). Here are the last few that were decent enough to post (even if marginally). Some work with a brush pen here, but those things require a light touch, so I need to work on that.
