Metro Sketch Day…. and Yelp!

Posted by admin on October 7th, 2009 filed in Uncategorized

I recently started a new sketch book (I recently finished the previous one). It is, ultimately, my sketch diary. I write down and draw what I observe and format it in the style of comic panels.

Last Friday, I was able to have what I call a “Metro Sketch Day.” Generally, what I would do is to buy a Metrorail ticket for the whole day (only $5) and ride to various landmarks and simply sketch on my book. Whatever interesting things I see, I would write and sketch about it. Because I frequently go to many places, including Disneyland (I have annual pass), by the time my book is done, it’ll have tons of different sketches of various places, events, people, and situations.

Ultimately, the point of the sketchbook is to keep me drawing frequently and create better sketching habits, and keep my ideas fresh and moving. With that said, here are some photos I took, along with my sketches from my book.

Pictures from my Sketch Book

The following images were what I drew on my sketchbook. These were all drawn on the spot. As a result, I had to sketch as fast as I could, (especially if it involved moving people). One rule I made when I started this sketchbook (as well as the previous one) is to not use the pencil, or erase or make corrections–thus, all the drawings were done in pen.
