I had this new beautiful sketchbook “hand.book” by Global Art Materials but it didn’t seem to take watercolors very well; the paper warped too much for my liking and I couldn’t harness the pigment spread well. Prisma pencils were requiring a little too much work– you know, a lot of back and forth strokes; so lucky me, I happened to have packed a couple of Pilot Precise V7 rolling ball pens. I started by roughly composing and correcting with graphite–just laying in the basic structure without getting into too much detail. When I started inking in the values, I seemed to work fast because I could just barely get 2-3 stroke weights. I really liked that they look like etchings.

The entire sketchbook done in San Francisco, around Italy, and Sicily can now be viewed by clicking on the link:

Quick Silver Babe

February 4, 2011

These are prisma color sketches of performer Quick Silver Babe done at Minna Gallery with the Dr. Sketchy’s group on Tuesday, January 18th. This is not my favorite medium for quick sketching.


We had a great crowd, fabulous music by Alice Stribling, and a super model. Talia, the aerialist
