Thursday evening sketch : same terrace, Art Café, after one rainy day, it is crowed with happy consumers, enjoying the last rays of the evening sun.
Croquis du soir : jeudi, après un jour de pluie, toujours sur la terrasse de l'Art Café, rempli de monde pour profiter des derniers rayons de soleil de la soirée.
After painting the sketch Rime drew for me, I felt that I could flex the style a little harder.
I took a day to myself chilling at leeside and painted it again. Its a very interesting sketch to paint, because it was drawn so fluidly and fast. It became a challenge to express the same fast strokes done in pen, with spray paint on a wall. It was fun!
Here you go ... a couple of sketches i did for blief. My short vacation got me doodling on the train finding ways of writing this. I'm realising that I'm having more and more dificulties doing complicated wildstyle peices these days, usualy keeping the letters simple. I kept trying to make the word LIE come out but most of these trials failed miserably ...
Those moments where you sit alone,
And feel the world turn
And feel it all around you

I love those moments when you're alone and feel all full up with everything. : )

Era mas de una persona. Como si todos nosotros fuésemos ella. Millones de almas, pensamientos, sensaciones. Todo ello en la misma sangre. La confianza que tenía en la gente. Veía el mundo de una forma que la hacia ser natural. Cosas que para la sociedad resultaban pudorosas, indecentes. Eran algo sin importancia. Vivía la vida. Su vida.

I spent longer on this sketch of a stand of bare Aspen trees than perhaps any previous Moleskine-sized sketch. It was done "from life" and took roughly 45 minutes.
On this particular sketch, I decided to do a bit of basic 2H pencil layout first just so I could get the relative positions of the trees, branch crossings, etc. set up. I didn't do any erasing, so perhaps I could have worked in pen from the start. However, it was somewhat relaxing to have the basic outlines established, and then to follow up with pen rendering. Once the pen rendering was done, I did erase the pencil guidelines.
Part of me wants to do some crosshatching behind the main stand of trees to provide contrast, but I'm afraid of losing fine detail in the smaller branches. I guess I'm a chicken.
I used a 0.1 Staedtler pigment liner for the major shapes, followed by more detailed line work with a Sakura 005 in the large Moleskine sketch book.
With Seattle sketcher Gail Wong, I rode a Bolt Bus down to Portland for the day to participate in this annual event. It was my first real trip to spend any time in downtown Portland and was impressed with the architecture and culture of the city. I definitely will be back.
This building caught my eye because of the color around the windows of what seemed like a warehouse, only to be told by a passing mail courier that in 2012 it was the site of MTV's 28th season of 'The Real World', probably one of the original reality shows.
There were over a hundred sketchers attending the event and I met many great sketchers whose work I've enjoyed online and can now put a face to. I went back to Seattle that night on the bus, a bit much for one hot day (90+). Next time I'll stay for the weekend and why not, Portland has a lot to offer a sketcher.
