Sketches from last Sunday

I noticed some other artists using markers and inks to make their sketches look more "complete" so this week, I shamelessly stole that technique. As per usual, it takes me a little while to get warmed up and there is really only one or two sketches on each page I really enjoy :)

The first two are warm-ups, getting in the flow of drawing.

I added the colours later. It's something I picked up from Stephen Silver's Sketchbook

This week, I was working on capturing character moreso than anything else.

Sometimes I get tired after 2 hours of sketching, maybe you can tell where.

This guy was wearing sunglasses; it wasn't that sunny, he had to be drawn.

What?

The Mission: To have fun drawing together. Everyone is welcomed from professional artists, students or just people who want to draw for fun. The cool thing about sketching is no one will ever judge you - no matter what skill level you're at - everyone has a child in them that likes to draw. And it's free! (except for the Skytrain fee).

Sketch everyone you see on the Skytrain  - more fun with more numbers! "Honey is that a sketch group gang?" "Great Scott! I do believe it is!"

We will meet up every Sunday at the main entrance of the Skytrain Waterfront Station - look for the persons with sketchbooks and pencils. The good news is the transit fee for Sundays are 1 zone for all.
