Luchtime sketch

Sketching the view of the building at 1st & Mission from atop the 100 First Public Parking garage.

I'm not sure why it's called '100 First' when it's actually at 524 Mission, but there is a great little garden park up top. Very pleasant spot for sketching.

I have to figure out posting images and locations from my iPhone, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather spend the little time I have out of doors sketching.

Darwin

Been working a bit on my Photoshop drawing chops. Still getting used to drawing with the tablet. This is the first time I got really excited about the process because I could feel the potential. If I could just get more control over my line, I think I could emulate the wood engraving look that I love so much. The combination of the variable line width from the tablet with the ability pull the whites back out by switching to the eraser could afford some very exciting drawing possibilities. And of course corrections and changes are a thousand times easier than in wood engraving. Even scratchboard lacks undo, save as, and history palette.
