I'm going to post some things from my sketchbook on this blog, along with my thoughts.
This is the first page from one of the three new sketchbooks I'm working on right now. From the advice of James Gurney, I've started 3 books: one from my imagination, one from life, and one containing studies of other artists. This one is a few drawings I did from life. Most of these will be straight ink to paper. No second tries, no fidgeting, just permanent marks. I'm hoping working this way will familiarize me with inking tools to the point where I can confidently make marks without having complete pencils to work over. I really like the sketch of the old man sleeping.
