Cafe haunting and sketching


Whenever I don't have paintings to show, I like to fall back on the good ol' Moleskine sketchbook drawings. I do a lot of these while I'm grabbing a snack at cafes/airports etc. I used to go to a local figure drawing session but kind of fell out of the habit and so these 'people' drawings fill that need of drawing folks from life. Drawn directly in ink with a Japanese brush pen marker in the small Moleskine plain paper book (not the moleskine "sketchbook").

Great stuff, Mike! I love your loose work. Have you ever added color to any of these?

I put these up just for you man ;)
No I've never really done anything with these. Here's a blog that you will love though, this guy does great loose, on the spot drawings then adds computer colors later...really nice looking stuff.
