Sketching, Sketching

Drawing the feeling of what I see is always a struggle but I'm glad I got to practice :)

Sketching in Downtown Seattle

Did some sketching in downtown. Super glad it was nice and sunny. It's true, when the sun comes out in Seattle everyone comes out of hibernation haha

Busing to Different Places

Drew some interesting people while busing around downtown Seattle :)

    

I tried to draw what I felt when I was observing each person. For example, in the second to the last drawing I felt that the person had a small forehead and a really long, pointy nose so I tried to emphasize that in the drawing.

Hope you enjoyed them!

Jazz Performance at Bake's Place

Girlfriend and I went to our first live jazz performance and it was pretty classy cool!

Got scared when the cello player came up to me after the performance. Turns out he just wanted to see what I drew and ended up liking it. Whew!

It'll be so awesome to learn from the Pixar masters. Hopefully something will come out of this but if not, I'm just glad I took a chance :)

My Friend

This was inspired by the sketch group I'm in. The topic was music. It was a fun challenge putting myself in each of the kid's minds :)

Hope you enjoyed the story!

Rad Sechrist's character design post was very useful in helping me design the character:
