Hot Off the Press!

This past week I went to go visit friends and family over in Washington D.C. and New York. It was a museum/ memorial walk fest! This time, I remembered to scan in the sketches early on, so here's a few sketches from my journey through D.C. and New York.

A sketch of the Lincoln Memorial done in a cheap Japanese brush pen, a water-soluble Pilot pen, a waterbrush, and a pencil.



Very cute elephant shrews at the National Zoo. Ink pens and pencil.


The only full color image I did on my trip. Watercolor and pencil of Passenger Pigeons from the "Birds of D.C." display at the Smithsonian Natural History Musuem. The female is a little rougher since my arm was getting numb by then.


A giant sloth skeleton at the Smithsonian Natural History Musuem. Pens and pencil.


An Allosaurus skeleton at the Smithsonian Natural History Musuem. Pens, pencil, and a little watercolor.


A Sakhmet statue at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pens and pencil. Her waist got a little truncated.


A quick sketch of the Greek mythology statue called "Andromeda and the Sea Monster" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with pencil and colored pencil. The hand is a little rough.


Ballpoint pen sketches of NY subway commuters. The lower lady got a little compressed, probably because of the way I was holding the sketchbook.


And the conclusion of the trip! Rough mountain sketches with the brush pen on the plane returning home.

Thanks for coming along!
