Since Laura Murphy Frankstone challenged me to do three sketches a day for five days, here’s the first: Sketching today with my son at Whole Foods market: he’s drawing stuff in the fish area while I draw him, a bowl of ramen we ate there, him at home playing a video game.
This was / is a very LARGE sketch book that I started in mid-2012. Just finished it. I created a new sketchbook a few months ago (actually I made four identical sketchbooks, and gave three to friends) with a smaller page count so it presumably won’t take as long to get through. The new book also has three different colored pages randomly spaced throughout – white, gray and tan. More on that later…
Drawn with Noodlers Konrad fountain pen and Konrad brush pen with gray wash. I’m a little late to the Inktober party, got some catching up to do! View in Instagram ⇒
I did this day before yesterday around noon – it must have been 103 degrees out. I swear I could see the watercolor drying on the page. The paper buckled more than usual from the quick dry action I think. This is the inside of the front gate at work.
