Disneyland Sketches

I just got back from a sketching trip to Disneyland! These were about 10-15 min. studies done with a little watercolor set in a moleskin sketchbook.

These were little sketches done on the DS :) The first was in the Blue Bayou and the second in the Grand Californian lobby...

Playing with Pastels

I've been trying out pastels recently, mainly in drawing workshops with controlled lighting. Still trying to figure out colors...

Nintendo DS Doodles

I just got the Colors program for my DS...it's right up there with Mario Kart, only I feel more productive when I use it!

Some outside sketches...

We were lucky enough to have access to the Huntington Gardens to paint this week! Despite the heat, spiders and fast drying gouache, I got a few quick studies done..here's one:


I've also been hitting up the Hollywood Bowl this summer, hearing everything from Loony Tunes'...um tunes, to Phillip Glass. It's been so nice to be outside with good music and a good glass of wine (or two or three :)
Here's a sketchbook sketch (kind of a bad scan though):

LACMA

Some sculpture sketches from LACMA...except the last one, that's the back of Ron :)

Josephine Baker quick sketches

These are from Drawing Club last week...the model was amazing and had great energy. She made me want to capture some of that with quick gesture sketches (she also made me want one of those banana skirts!)

Some more lunchtime drawings...

Drawing Club

California Philharmonic

Some program doodles from Saturday night's concert with Bruce. It was really fun and addicting doing these! My boss Stephane Kardos, who is an amazing sketch-er (is that a word?) has been encouraging me to try more loose and quick sketching, which is completely out of my comfort zone. It's a lot harder than I thought, but I've really enjoyed trying something new...

Lunchtime costume drawing with Bob...

First time at the Drawing Club !

Art Center projects...

Here are various projects I've done for school since starting in January 2007...most of these are examples of assignments from my foundation classes (ie: head drawing, perspective, sketching for illustration, etc.)...

It's a pensive DJ!

Pretty Anna...
