My flight to Chicago was delayed which brought me some time to sketch. This was a get away trip, long before COVID Dystopia won an award as the Best Short Animated Film at the Chicago International Reel Shorts Film Festival. This trip was strictly for sight seeing and hitting the museums and culture.
The sketch was done before I started my daily sketching routine. Lines are in pencil and more carefree. Right now I am searching for a pen that is responsive as I need. The pen I am using now might decide to stop putting down a line mid stroke which results in my staring down at the page in anticipation of the next fail rather than looking at the subject. The pen I am using now also tends to always run out as I am working on a sketch. It never fully reloads when I attempt to refill it each morning.
I am looking at old unpublished sketchbooks and playing with color since I am locked down teaching each afternoon and evening. It is kind of nice just making up the colors and values. The more of these I do the better I will get at coming up with my own color schemes on the fly.
