Every Day in May: May 30th

(Click image to enlarge)
As my wife pointed out yesterday that May has 31 days not 30 days, so yesterday was my antepenultimate EDIM and this is my penultimate EDIM. Just a bunch sketches from random news photos + random doodles.

Every Day in May: May 29th

(Click image to enlarge)
Almost there. This is my penultimate EDIM. The pen drawing here is a little sloppy, but I'm trying to pick up my speed a little. I'd like to get to the point where I can create a credible pen sketch in an hour or so, and not have to take 3 hours for it to look decent.

I'm also enjoying getting back to the watercolors again. It's funny though; I feel the need to have the structure of a pen drawing or a pretty well established pencil drawing to hang the color on. I should try working from a very light, rough pencil sketch or even straight into watercolor.

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.
