sketchbook 03/09/09
Ok, so I received James Jean's latest book, Process Recess 3, The Hallowed Seam. It's a gorgeous collection of select pages from his sketch books. In fact, it's his work that inspired me to start drawing in a serious way with a regular ball point pen. Anyways, as an ode to him, I put away my micron pen and pulled out my papermate and sketched the interior of Wanda's Pie in the Sky Cafe, a place I sketched previously. As a side note, I had a delicious slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream and a nice dark coffee. Yum!

I stumbled across your blog some days ago and
i realy enjoyed seeing your sketches and reading the little stories you add to them.
There is one thing i want to ask you:
How long does it take you to draw a sketch like that?
On the picture from this day i would draw like an hour, maybe more, which is not that bad, because your drawing a lifeless object.
But if you want to draw e.g. someone on the subway, you likely don't have the time to do it.
So it's astonishing that you can draw a recognizable face in this little time.
Hope to see much more of your art.

Hi Dominic,
thanks for stopping by.
I usually take about an hour to two hours for an image Like this. It depends on how detailed I want it to be. For this particular drawing, It took a little over two hours.
Well I'd always wondered that too - makes me feel a bit better. Great drawing, as always! You really know how to capture a sense of place.
Hey, just wanted to say your works awesome, its impressive how well you capture details of a location (and the people in it). It's motivated me to do more 'onsite' sketchbook work. Anyway keep up the good work, oh and thanks for checkin out my blog!
I love the little paper order "tree" on the left side of the picture, so cute! hehe. Wonderful sketch!
Thanks for checking out my blog :D
I love this one! Love all the detail you've included, the plastic bag, the perfectly drawn chairs, the "order tree", the lamps, the bottles on the background...
Best regards,
Carolina
