More walking. Gimme two weeks, I figure I'll have something worth looking at it by then.

Running tally: 200 gesture drawings this week. 2/3 there!

It's gonna be all right

More mallstuff today, trying to capture people walking. Not great results yet, but I think I'm going to stick with this a bit, really try to get that motion down. I figure a couple of weeks of this, I'll start to get a rudimentary grasp of it, and I can go from there.

No gestures today, way too tired. Should still manage the 300 target I've set for the week, though.

Every single day of my life

Another page of mall sketches. Gonna try over near the transit escalators tomorrow, try to get people walking. I need more practice on capturing that sort of motion.

Running tally: 150 gestures so far this week. Halfway there!

Take as directed

Last summer I was so proud of having done over 300 gesture drawings.

This summer I'm gonna do it in a week. Yesterday and today, I'm a third of the way there already.

Here are the last three pages from today's session, to give a snapshot of where I'm at right now.



If you want me to, I will

Two posts today, so look out!

First is my usual on-location sketching. I had a day off on Monday, so I need to get back in practice. Not too bad though, I feel like I'm catching the scent of something.

Dorothy Parker made you feel like summer

Seriously, I'd call this one a success. Sakura brush pen and Prismacolor sepia chisel tip marker on a printout of this sketch. Never done anything like this before, pretty good for going on instinct.
