Rochester sketches

It pretty well completely slipped my mind to draw this last weekend. The get together was involving and I rarely thought of that more reflective pursuit.

Besides, I had a Pavlovian response - triggered by having to tear a sketch out of my pad and hand it over to the customs agent (silly me - I was in a secured area ). He brought it back after handing it around the room for 10 minutes - his supervisor told him to tell me btw it was pretty good. The poor crumpled thing is god knows where now - I thought it was stuffed in my knapsack but it could have wound up in the trash.

Anyways, that might be why I drew so little

I wonder if anyone noticed a picture showing me holding a bottle . . .

Pencil sketches. The Toronto end of the ferry route in the embarcation deck.

I opened my sketchbook and there was this huge stain from who knows - I thought the neighbours tree would look good there, sort of pretty it up

The gorgeous weather meant the back porch saw a lot of traffic - Shanifaye was doing some pre-toast improv while the webcam was getting taped to the door

Remember - this is a sketch and I got asked by Maleficent to share what I did. I wish I'd had the opportunity to do extenced life drawings of each of the TFP ladies I met - that would have been really cool Now that would be a thread all to itself Maybe another time, eh?

The fellows get equal time - I got Charlatan and PJ as they threw horseshoes around the yard. I eventually moved. I didn't feel safe, so I really didn't get into a lot of drawing just then

Onesnowyowl visiting chat. She is so sweet and so pretty that the ravening beast one feels stirring inside almost seems inappropriate. Then she gives a stir and a look and you think my goodness, this lady is such a thoughtful perceptive and complex young woman . . . RRRRR

Oblar and onesnowyowl having conversation

edited to add crops of the tree because I thought it looked neat, and onesnowyowl because I thought she looked so sweet

i am truly amazed by your ability.. Your artwork truly is astounding, and the speed at which you do these sketches makes it even moreso.

Is that stain perhaps from when the Customs agents roughed you up a bit? You may have forgotten due to the blow to the head...

...regardless of the truth it makes a good story.

Great sketching by the way...

Great job Kramus! Did you use the 'point' method (right name?) for some of those. I love drawing using dots. It is easier to get shading in my opinion.

I am looking forward to seeing more from you!

heh - the customs tree. Good title, just not true . . . they were really nice people after all, and I got through without removing my trousers - which in those particular circumstances is considered a good thing.

Thanks for the positive comments folks - I just kept drifting along and forgetting to pull out my pad so I only did the bit I posted here.

These are all pencil sketches ohh shesus. The combination of my scan and the monitor seems to cluster pixels into a look more like stippling in some cases. One thing I noticed is when I save a drawing and open it in windows picture viewer it is a much truer look than the http look that I see in a thread. I really noticed that first in the Night Air pic I posted a short while ago - flyman commented on the look and I had only paid attention really to the windows view, and they were quite different on my laptop.
Thanks again everybody - I had the time of my life there and the weekend format was perfect. Thankyou Tecoyah!

I know this is late, but I thought I'd mention that I really...really like the trees.

And the sketch of the house. It just seems so...warm.

amonkie - if you are peeking over my shoulder I am feeling warm and tingly

Thanks guthmund - I enjoyed the way the tree looks - trees are a favorite and I plan to do a major piece involving one. So there will be many versions before that, and this particular sketch will quite probably be one of the ones I refer to. As for the house - it was a warm house. I highly recommend the hospitality extended there, and urge anyone who possibly can to take advantage the next time it is offered

Wow...

Hadn't seen this thread, nor was I aware I was so...present in it.

Kramus, thank you for all the kind things you said about me (I never knew I had the ability to bring out a ravenous beast in anyone!). It's highly appreciated.

And I love the sketches...heck, I'm looking at Turtles and Longneck on my wall right now

Have you heard that album by Steve Martin - Let's Get Small? He tells of getting really small, and getting inside of a vacuum cleaner. Then the drug wore off. So be careful, ok? If it does work out that would be really cool. My 2 cents
