This guy was so busy with his iPad that he didn't notice me sketching him.

Drawn in a Moleskine notebook using a black watercolor pencil and two water brushes, one filled with water, and the other with ink. I switch back and forth between all three of those tools throughout the drawing.
Moleskine notebook are the best ! Good job James !

o much life in this sketch; the lift to the eyebrow, the downward curve at the corner of the mouth. It embodies attentiveness. It would be great if he was busy using a draw program to sketch you on his iPad but you were so busy sketching you didn't notice...
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I recently had a Niji waterbrush leak while holding a walnut ink. Made me wonder if the ink had some slippery molecule viscosity.
That should be "So much life..."
ReplyDeleteI love when you sketch humans in the wild. I wish I could come to the PSOA convention so I could hear you speak on that subject. Will it be videotaped and available for viewing for those of us who can't make it there?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thought Connie had! With all your speaking engagements, it would be great if some could be captured and available for download!
ReplyDeleteHi, Connie and Tom,
ReplyDeleteWe probably won't record or distribute the PSOA lecture, but I've been working on a bunch of videos of sketching in the field that show the techniques and tell the stories.
Meanwhile, here's a teaser video called "Portable Portraits": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3NsgtwgzuY
