Just thought I’d throw up an assortment of noggin drawings from life. Some are aware they’re being drawn, most are just doin’ their thing whilst I do mine.
Back in Chicago after great visit to Portland and saddlin’ up old routines. The top drawing in the middle column is by British artist, now residing in California, Pete Scully. I did the drawing to the left of his of his unorthodox grip as he draws. He motors along and gets great results. We wer drawing the same scene in Jakes, my drawing is in the previous post. He said he hated drawing bottles but I’d look over and he’d just be knockin’ ‘em out. Wonderful guy, check his stuff out at Urban Sketchers or link to his blog below.
Spent a gob of hours toolin’ around Chicago looking for some worthy urban views over the last couple of days in preparation for the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Portland. Grabbed a swell perspective of the Berwyn Red Line Station while enjoying an iced mint tea and the curb side seating at the cafe Pause. Today, I plied away the hours in a favorite haunt, the Sulzer Library, and caught the lady with a bit of 60′s splash. Also there was the library’s most regular of visitors, bent over his usual spiral notebook and filling more pages than I do. And currently under employed with loads of time to kill, I’m chewing my way thru a 450 page sketchbook at a good clip.
