I did this sketch from my imagination although I often draw from photos. I have always loved drawing and I think looking at animal photography books when doing drawings, was partly what got me into taking photos myself. My mum went to art college when she was younger, so she's always encouraged me to draw. Can't draw people to save my life, just like animals really :) Anyway, I quite liked this one, so thought I'd put it up... and a couple of other, very quick sketches!
Sketched when I was watching TV.
Korean TV series called Dramas are everywhere, you may also watch a lot of action movies.

Evening Sketch: corner of Proudhon street. The colored version will follow, perhaps. The evening was softer, and the sun was out for a change :)
croquis du soir : angle de la rue Proudhon. la version colorée suivra je pense. La soirée était plus douce, et du soleil pour changer :)
Straight Pen, one shot sketch from 6-20-07. Just a quickie with a Bic pen. Done in series of days and weeks that I was pushing myself to draw a new sketch a day. Trying to push myself beyond that stagnant point of repeating the same shit over and over again. Everyday I would start the piece in a different position or with a different letter, in hopes of creating something new and opening different chambers in my brain. Whereas, I might have gotten my style a little more loose in some areas, I found I just couldn't get to the point I was hoping to. It just wasn't the same without the painting to go with it. I also wasn't on the internet and had really no outside influences, so it was like trying to reinvent the wheel everyday. I had heard from some of the younger crew members about 12 oz. and remember seeing it like 10 years ago. To see where it had developed and taken the artform, was incredible. Still, I didn't want to sign up and have to sign in to use it, so I stayed away from it. It wasn't until the crew opened up their Flickr account that I saw the possibilty for sharing and communicating with an audience of like-minded people. Unfortunately, the politics behind an account with 20 plus members became taxing. Everyone had a different idea as to how it would and should have been run. It ended up getting too complicated. I wasn't looking for complications with something that seemed so compelling to do. Plus, it was so easy, even a caveman like myself, could use it. Also, the positive nature of the writers on Flickr, really made me feel like it was a little more relevant to what I was trying to accomplish. Which is, open a creative dialogue amongst writers and share some stories about who I am as a person, my experiences with the artform and the why's and how's behind what I do. So thanks to anyone and everyone that has visited and commented on my flickr account and the photos. You guys have been a real inspiration for me and continue to push me to want to do more and better things. Plus, reimbrace what I had lost with the artform for so many years. Much Respect!

As usual, I'm late to the trend, but better late than never. I'm trying to start drawing/sketching again, specifically in this nice little Moleskine sketchpad. Not surprisingly, I didn't magically become better at drawing while I wasn't practicing. I'm still the same old hack (it's kind of like my guitar playing).
These are all what I would call pseudo-, or near-blind-contour drawings in that I start with a contour drawing, then go back and add details. A blind contour drawing is done without looking at the paper. In the sketches on the left, the shoe and remote "outlines" were done without looking. Then I'd look down and relocate my pen, and draw a couple more contours, such as the sole of the shoe. Then, I'd go back in and fill in the details.
In the right-hand drawing, I drew nearly the entire contents of the top of the entertainment center with one continuous line. Then I sketched in the remainder, still looking at the paper mostly just to relocate the pen.
Sorry about the quality of the scan - I thought that would be better than taking a photo of the pages. Wrong...
Visiting a friend in Treffort for a week in freezing weather.
Sketches with fingers numb with cold, sometimes drawn with thick gloves ....
Day 2: weeping tree, and the view of one part of the loft of my friend (this part is 17 meters long and 6 meters wide, not yet restored)
En ballade à Treffort pour une semaine dans un froid sibérien.
Quelques instantanés, doigts engourdis par le froid, parfois dessiné avec les gros gants….
Jour 2 : arbre pleureur et partie du loft de ma copine non encore restaurée (cette partie fait 17 m de long sur 6 m de large)
Gentle warm up over breakfast before serious day of urban sketching and first time meeting my fellow USk's...no pressure!
