Art
I was originally thinking of putting more finished and meticulous drawings that I've done here. But I changed my mind.
Currently, I prefer not to labor over my drawings and sketches to get total accuracy and perfection. I'm trying to loosen up a bit. I do, however, try to get reasonable perspective and proportions.
So, I've decided to post the sketches that I do when Al and I go to our neighborhood parks. That's what I really enjoy, sketching in the park with Al relaxing beside me.

These were done in Bee Paper Marker Journals, spiral-bound, 5.5 in. x 8 in. (14 cm x 20.3 cm). On some I used fountain pens, but mostly I used fineliners (Pitt Artist pens, Staedtler pigment liners, or Pigma Micron) and alcohol markers (Blick, Copic, and Ohuhu).
I occasionally bring a few markers with me and do some coloring at the park, but usually I do the coloring at home where I have all my markers and lots of colors to choose from. I take a few reference photos to remind me of shadows.
