Here are a couple recent sketches that I think are worth showing.
The man in the suit was sketched on location in downtown Austin as he sat on the grass outside an office building at lunch. Looks like he had some tough decision to make. That drawing was made with a Uniball ink pen on 12 x 12″ cardstock.
The woman exercising was from a tear-sheet magazine photo I had on file, drawn in pencil on 8 x 11″ rag paper.
I made this sketch a few days ago while monitoring a local cit council meeting. I stood in the doorway and made a quick line sketch, and then finished it up later in the lobby.
The drawing is made with ink pen and layout markers on 7.5 x 11 inchcardstock paper.
Back in the late 1970′s I used to by many of my art books from a mail-order place called North Light. They also printed out a small pamphlet magazine that they mailed to their customers on art related issues, and in their March 1978 magazine there was an article on a series of paintings by the great illustrator, John Falter.
Falter was a well known illustrator through much of the 20th Century. In 1974 he was commissioned to do a series of six paintings for the American Bicentennial of 1976 by the 3M Company entitled ” From Sea to Shining Sea.” Each is painted in oil at the same size of 50″ x 36″.

This is a new sketch I made from a magazine photo I found in my archives. I’m not sure where it originally came from, but I had written “doctor’s office” on the back.
It was drawn with a ZIG “Writer” marker, and his suit was tinted with a Prismacolor layout marker. The paper stock is 8.5 x 11 inches.
More feet to show this time including the attached calves, modeled again by my friend Alessandra. Drawn with a Uniball pen on tinted card stock, about 9 inches square.
Since I showed you some hands last time, how about some feet? These come from a photo of mine of a friend who has a lovely pair. Ink on paper, 8.5 x 11 inches.
Here are a few recent sketches of hands that I’ve drawn, taken from pages of magazines that I’ve saved over the years.
