Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 12:02PM Here's a new page of sketches, one on the left done from my imagination and the right one from an old 50's B/W photo. Love those old photos, they are lit so well, and the black and white lets you focus on what's important... more sketches in the sketches area too...
Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 11:47AM My friend Ingrid Sundberg and I had a fun day sketching at the zoo a few weekends back- here are some of the sketches! there are bigger versions in the sketches gallery... one of my favorites is the little black and white drawing of the yawning turtle head- I was sketching and he just yawned like a cartoon!
