human and feline, staring at you

Pencil in the PaperBlanks journal.

an artist at figure drawing

I can't scan the big drawings I do from life drawing sessions. I work on 18x24 paper and avoid NSFW posts anyway.

But in this case I had time to draw one of the other artists working. Scans poorly of course, from a section of the big paper.

Pencil on Strathmore drawing paper.

stripes for accent

After I do a basic practice drawing of something/someone familiar, I invent the colors and patterns. This is not a real shirt but I like the look here.

Pen and w/c in the Bateman sketchbook.

penned people

Cross-hatching shadows on people seems so harsh compared to pencil. But I like the non-smudge, sharp definition.

I keep practicing so that shadows look less like whiskers. Haven't figured out that secret yet.

Fountain pen and stamp in the journal.

painting in the Moleskine

I found some loose pages from a Moleskine sketchbook, and randomly started using up w/c with a flat brush, drawing a character from a Netflix video.

I liked how the resistant paper worked this time. Usually it irritates me.

more traveling people

In the airport I started drawing a man, then in the course of the next 20 min. our flight was moved to 4 separate gates. Chaos!

I filled the rest of the page on the plane. The bag is mine, tucked into the seatback.

I had limited views on tiny planes. Nothing to draw but my own seatbelt.

Prismacolor water-soluble pencil in the journal. Color added later for my own sanity.
