Sketch Book Series: Water in Bottle (August 2010)

Reflections in the water, plus distortions in the clear plastic bottle were the challenges in this drawing exercise.

Sketch Book Series: Car Hood Reflections (December 2010)

There’s got to be a better way to depict reflections on a shiny car hood. I get a better sense of the reflected branches on the windshield than the hood. Not sure why that is.

No Fly Zone

My first outing to the Hollywood Bowl. I was led to believe the ‘X’ in the sky indicates a no fly zone, so that helicopters would not ruin the concert. It worked, for the most part.

Sketch Book Series: Penned Surface (October 2010)

Pen-and-ink surfaces take a long time to draw. In this sketch I did not draw lines, but rather used shading to create surfaces.

Sketch Book Series: Faces (December 2011)

I don’t remember the point of this practice exercise. It couldn’t have been faces exclusively since two are hidden. Maybe it was a combination face practice and composition design. I was getting better at facial proportions in this sketch.
