Aspirations of Being a Gentleman Naturalist take 2

Fossil hunting on the coast...sort of. In all events, I was able to work another watercolor drawing into my new mini sketchbook.

Here's another in the series from my first posting. This has just a bit of work left to do... nearly done.

Max's Tavern

Here's me waiting at Max's. Note: the bar keep would travel to the past if she could.

Aspirations of Being a Gentleman Naturalist

Bonnie and Autumn

Last night: Coffee, Bonnie's ear, more coffee, another of Autumn looking downward. A random study of a cloth sitting on a lonely bracket.
It was nice to work with pencil for the majority of the evening.

Gesture and Rendering

During last nights drawing session I worked on balancing line gesture and rendering. I think I like the focus that this can create.

Yes, yes, another cafe drawing.

Here is a quick pencil sketch of Autumn, and here is some guy named Larry at Horse Head. I think I need to start drawing in the daylight. Or, viewing my sketch work in various light, regardless of the time that I work.

Pretty slow drawing night Wednesday.. I didn't sketch a person, (or even a part of one) the entire evening.

Drawings of Autumn and Sarah from last nights session.

Here is another bit from my sketch book. Just a few more pen drawings of this and that. A girl at a cafe, a spot down the Willamette from my place, and Autumn's gloves.

Espresso Roma again

Here's another pen sketch done at Espresso Roma. This one is from last weekend.

Two Friends, a Cactus, and a Piece of Me

This drawing is a dedication of sorts to a couple of friends. Also it's an exploration in hierarchy and object placement.

self portrait on board

A self portrait done at my place. I worked on this one exclusively at night. I was unable to back up very far throughout the process.
