I usually don't draw very diligently at Sketchcrawls; content to sit on a bench with a coffee, taking in the sun and relaxing after a long week of drawing storyboards. This time however, I sat and drew with a specific purpose, for hours, and while my resultant drawings aren't exactly setting the world on fire, I had fun doing them, learned from them, and loosened up a bit.
I also met a bunch of great people, saw some great drawings, and ended the day with a meal at Delfina Pizzeria, and Bi-rite Creamery with Enrico and his wonderful wife Marit.
A great way spend a Saturday. Many thanks to Enrico for organizing it, and to all those that attended.
Here's some excerpts from the day...
Enjoy,
James
I had trouble keeping up with these ladies. So much character, great interactions. Interest Everywhere!
Nice sketches during the crawl. You have an awesome blog with tons of sweeeet sketches. I had to leave a tad early from the crawl. Catch ya the next crawl.
ReplyDeleteI like 'em! You always have this thing going on where your drawings look like a single piece - all the limbs and tilts and negative space work together.
ReplyDeleteGreat sketches, James! Sounds like a nice end to the day, too.
ReplyDeleteyou really know what Stanchfield's Gesture is! great.
ReplyDeletehow many seconds for every piece?
Very inspiring. James.
ReplyDeleteNice sketches as always. Too bad I missed you at the crawl. I see I ended up in one of your photos though.

ReplyDeleteHey Guys,
ReplyDeleteEmma- Thanks. That's definitely the goal.
Flaviano- Walt is a big hero of mine. I carry one of the books with me wherever I go. It's been right there with my sketchbooks since about 2001.
John- Yeah. I'll say hi for sure next time!
Chris- Nice meeting you too, but those weren't tips. I was making excuses from my own 'questionable' drawings. "I'm uhh.....just working on weight! Yeah that's it! Weight is key."
;)
Thanks all!
