I had a little time between two appointments yesterday and decided to stop at Starbucks so I have a little coffee and do some sketching. I sat down in one of my favorite corners that has a nice viewpoint and got to work. I vaguely remember thinking I should set myself an alarm. This proved to be sound thinking that I will heed next time around because suddenly I thought, “Oh no! Check the time.” One minute until my appointment. Yikes! Good thing I was only five minutes away. Don’t you love it when you are so absorbed in your art that all sense of everything else just slips away?
Hahahaha… if you can produce something like this and it’s the reason why you’re late, I think it’s perfectly alright being late ^^
Lol
I like that thinking.
thats a pretty neat sketch
thank you!
Love the green in the glass. Wonderful touch to draw you into the image.
Rebecca,
I agree. You have a wonderful touch. I have a technique question. Since I love how you come back to emphasize some lines, what pencil or pen do you use to make the initial lines that are lighter?

Thanks for your kind words Bruce.
I usually start my sketches by either doing a quick block in of shape guides in pencil (if a complex sketch I want to take a little time on) or an 01 Micron pen. If I am using the pencil first I still use the smaller point pen as my next step because the pencil is more of a spacing guide. I grab the gestures of the people etc. this way and that is why it tends to be a more alive(nice word for crazy
) line. At the end I use an 05 Micron pen to add definition and focus to where I want it.
I love it when the world just, fades away greta sketch!
