book dummy & last page

First spread of a book I’ve been working on.

Ink, gouache &colored pencil.

At Columbus Circle, waiting for the Thanksgiving Day Parade!

T-2 hrs, 35 minutes…

Went to a dog park to draw today. Met some crazy, angry, neurotic dog owners who got pissed at us for entering the park without dogs of our own. Understandably, I guess, considering we almost let half the dogs loose getting in. So I guess they weren’t so neurotic after all…

Sort of cheated and snuck a few photographs between gestures.

On Thursday our professor took us to Top of the Rock — the Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center. We were 71 stories high and were able to see almost all of Manhattan, unobstructed by glass. We had beautiful weather so it turned out to be an awesome day. And again, we got school credit for this. Win.

We were each given a section to draw and a number, and the sketches will be put together in Photoshop to form a panorama of NYC.

Every once in a while, I get to complaining about how we only get 1/2 a credit per hour of art class at FIT. But then we do stuff like going out and drawing horses for three hours, and get college credit for it, and I start thinking, okay, this is justified.

I posted the sketch for this a while back, but never got around scanning the finish. WOOPS.

The Cloisters, NYC. Graphite.

Been practicin’ with watercolor. Yup.
