Sometimes I just sketch
February 21, 2024I have been enjoying just sketching with no intended purpose. You might say that I my recent sketches have been inspired by Adolpe Appia, Edward Gordon Craig, Etienne-Louis Boullée. Mainly just exploring proportion, shapes, lines, positive and negative space, textures and of course trying out new markers. I typically start these sketches, by following a torn piece of notebook paper and then creating the drawing from there. I never have an intended outcome for the drawing or sketch, but rather just explore as I go.
I have been using a Speedball Flexi Sketch Book - 6”X9” for the drawings and a number of markers such as Zig Clean Color - real brush, Sharpies, Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Brush, mono drawing pens
Lastly, Art supply stores are hard to find and I understand the impulse to use Amazon, but if you can, shop local.. Whenever I’m in Houston, I always shop at Texas Art Supply. Enjoy!
