NYC sketches


From a New York trip last month. It had been awhile since I did field drawing so I sat at a Starbucks and went on a 6 hour bender. I still have that fear of slipping too far into that binge mentality with art productivity. Like a wino but with ballpoint pens.

Diner

At the time I drew this I had been admiring a lot of De Crecy's work and his confident yet palsied lines. Dude knows what he's doing: http://villa-kujoyama.com/spip/spip.php?article669&lang=fr

nudity





This was a Halloween figure drawing party at the SMFA. There was food, funky music, and 6 models. Most of the poses we're pretty short, nothing over 5 minutes.

Summer sketches the sequel



top(boston): The lady in Chinese restaurant camouflage. Gotta love that fairway green.
bottom(NYC):a motorcycle and some subway doodles
*All my sketches are in ballpoint pen btw

summer sketches

I was digging through the summer moleskines and found some stuff I like from the NYC days. Nobody sits still like a New Yorker; they turn the external world off when they're in bookstores and cafes.

Sumi Skull


A sumi warm up before work. Total drawing time may have been a minute.

Katie and her hands



Some excerpts from the moleskine. You can see the lady's blog here: http://katiebrier.blogspot.com/
The mug at the top and most of the hands belong to her.
All done in ballpoint pen with some washes here and there.

Figure Drawing

20 minute figure drawing in my moleskine plus some hand studies. Wierd how lefties hold their pens. We should hate them for that.

The burbs


Since moving back to PA I've made a lot of attempts to keep my field drawing alive but I've made peace with working from my imagination more since the burbs lack that urban texture I grew to love so much. But here's some suburban field drawing anyway
