This is the first series in which I sketched people. I like the first group portrait. The assembly of sketches shows some inconsistency. I need practice sketching faces.

I’m pretty sure that these folks are on their way home. The woman holding what looks like an oversized book is actually reading something we once called a newspaper. Years ago, many people would keep up on all the news and other current events with these bulky papers. When I was a kid, my dad […]
These are people on the subway platform (at 68th Street) in NYC. I sketched them from a photo I took. It is (or at least, it was for me at that time) daunting to take photos of people in such a confined space. Recall that cell phones were not the device of choice to take […]

Unlike yesterday’s sketch I only painted the sky down to the skyline, instead of merging the red and yellows from top to bottom of the paper. Again, I painted the spotlights with yellow, filling in the concentric(ish) penned lines that indicate the shape of the glow of the lights. Please visit my Etsy shop for […]
I’m sure the sky must have looked something like this, although the black and white photo does not confirm this. The street and surrounding storefronts were lit by several floodlights and, in this version of my sketch, the area was deserted.

This is one of my favorite photos. I took it one evening. I forget where I was going. I like the drama. I included the reference photo for the initial sketch of this series to show the mood I aspire to create in this series. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale […]
