So here are my Environment sketches I made over the course of this past week. I drew them into my sketchbook at different places and then scanned them into Photoshop. I then reworked them a bit by adding different shades to backgrounds and foregrounds.As I understand these were supposed to be quick sketches, real simple shapes and layouts...I might have gone with too much detail and tinkering. I have to learn to simplify and focus on shades and shadows...
This was at a motorcycle shop in San Pedro. I was waiting for the doc to come out with the news..
I like using the blue col-erase Prismacolors as they give this nice soft feel to the image, not as harsh as using dark lead. Very good for initial concept layout.
During my break at work...
I went riding my bike through Santa Monica on the way to get my plates at the DMV. I found these two buildings, worth sitting down next to and drawing. The shading was mostly added at home.
This bridge looks awful...I rushed this one badly... I think it was getting dark and I was cold.
walking the dog near the apartment I ran across these electric meters...not too exciting.

You were cold? In California this is impossible!
Bara, why do I never see other individuals sketching things on the street? This is why Dim is of the master class... who else has such interest and drive to produce drawings?
