Bloc 11

I love sketching. Now that the weather is nice, it's sooo awesome to just sit outside and look at the beautiful world around us.

Done at Bloc 11 Cafe at Union Square in Somerville after visiting Hub Comics (my favorite comic shop in Boston so far).

Diesel Cafe

Felt like sketchin' tonight. My gf is coming in to town tomorrow (she lives in San Diego) and we're road trippin' to Ithaca, NY for her sister's graduation, so I felt guilt free for spending my Friday night in a cafe making art.

Warm-up sketch

I need to try this some more. Start the day with a random sketch, then finish after work when I've had some time to think about it and also when I'm a lot more warmed up.

Insomnia

Two Giants

It's strange how some things don't turn out like you want them to. Here are two examples of trying to get an idea out of my head, but having totally unpredictable results. Sometimes things just have to be finished before you can learn and move on.

The first one is my failed attempt to get what I somewhat managed to get in the second.

Personal Demons

It's nice to see all that experimentation pay off a bit. This is a pencil drawing, with ink wash, and gouache. Plus, I cheated a bit in Photoshop with some levels adjustments and some really loose dodging and burning.
