Today I sketched with the North Park Drawing Group. With each sketch I struggled to capture the model’s glassy eyes, finally coming close on this, the final pose of the day.

This is a soluble pencil and watercolor sketch.

Driving into the Sunset on I-15

Sketch of  people driving by Sarah Sullivan

Driving into the Sunset on I-15


As we returned from a family reunion and wedding in Colorado, I sketched as we bumped along the highway. Although the lines in the drawing waver a bit, I think the waivers capture the feeling of driving while drawing. The body language of the driver and passenger indicated a kind of resigned patience that I wanted to capture with relaxed shoulders and faces.
This is a Procreate sketch.

Morning after the Party Review

We went to the rehearsal party for our nephew’s wedding last night and then this morning enjoyed sharing our thoughts about it over breakfast. I love the body language of two people who have known each other a long time. 

This is a Procreate sketch.

Horseshoes


During our family reunion we played horseshoes and I practiced capturing people throwing horseshoes.

This is an ink sketch with color added later with Procreate.

Reading in Colorado

We are camping in a gorgeous remote part of Colorado with an  intermittent phone connection. This means most of my sketches are too large to upload. So here is a pen and ink drawing that I hope will upload.
