Smoke break


So here are a couple of sketches I did at the art school I work at. The students went on a short "smoke" break and I took advantage of that time to get some quick sketching in. All of these are like 2 minute sketches using a ballpoint pen. I like the way a ballpoint works over the paper in a quick sketch. If you work at it you can get subtle value shifts and really bring out the character. That and it's a cheap medium. And man, do I love cheap.

Hey Jason:

It was great to see you at Comicon. Since then I went to Siggraph. Had a really fun time since it was my first time in Boston.

If you ever want to come to San Francisco, let me know. I have a big guest room. We'd love to have you.

Stay in touch. I check in on your blog from time to time. Your drawings are beautiful.
