China Marker Sketches



So recently I've become obsessed with sketching in blue ballpoint pen. However - I've been trying to think about how I can capture the same looseness on a larger scale. SO...



These are a few sketches I've done with Oil Crayons (Sharpie China Marker) on Dura-Lar. The Dura-Lar is a matte plastic sheet that us SUPER smooth. I'm kinda pumped and excited to experiment some more.

New Yorker (I wish!)

I've been working a lot in digital media for freelance lately so I thought I'd try working traditionally. I figured a fun challenge would be to work up a New Yorker style cover...




I sketched out a handful of thumbnails - this one had the most promise I thought.



Here is the final line-art.



I finished it off with watercolor and colored pencil.
