Sketches I meant to post a while ago...

I've been really bad at staying on top of this blog, so I'm trying to catch up with this larger post.  Below are compilations of sketches from the past few months and SketchCrawls:

Random people sketches...




The sketches below are from a pocket sketchbook...it suffered from a mishap involving water and cough drops, but I thought I'd still post these...so please pardon the red splotches and water stains :P...


These couple sketches (respectively done in pencil/watercolor and water-based oils) took place on a recent trip to Eaton Canyon...


SketchCrawl #31 (April 16, 2011)...at the Los Angeles Zoo...


SketchCrawl #32 (July 23, 2011)...in San Diego during Comic-Con weekend...(same stained pocket sketchbook as above)


SketchCrawl #33 (October 15, 2011)...at Descanso Gardens...


I admit I haven't been sketching as often as I should (booooo)...so definitely trying to change that.  That said...I do plan on attending Designer Con this Saturday (11/5) in Pasadena, CA to support my amazingly talented friends Squid Kids, Hyperactive MonkeyKwestone & Edgar Antonio, and Paul Wilson.  There will also be live figure drawing sessions hosted by Dr. Sketchy's LA, so I look forward to posting some sketches from this event soon.  Please join if you can!

Thanks for the support!

great stuff Viv! I think I should just stop taking photos, and let you draw all our future excursions! So many nice moments and recognizable faces you captured! :P The cough drops and water inadvertently added a really nice wash to the images as well! haha.
