Some friends of mine and I went on a short camping trip this past weekend. It was a nice short vacation. I really did not have to think about much and I did not really draw either. I did escape for a minute, though, to do a quick sketch of our little tent. There were so many stars out; it was cool.
I colored this when I got home. I did not take my good pens camping out of fear that I would lose them.
It was a nice little escape. I am not sure exactly what I needed to escape from though. All I have done this summer is…
...tutor (This was one of my students, Devon. I drew him when he was not looking.),
...watch flapjack,
...and secretly sketch my roommates when they are not looking.
So my summer has been fairly uneventful, but fun. Since I do not have a job until school starts, I plan to buckle down and get some stuff done that I have been planning on doing. I need to finish animating the credits for a production 2 film, I need to develop the idea i came up with for my animation production class (concept stuff coming soon), and I need to finish my Teach for America application. So, stay tuned...
Last Saturday I invited some people to come out to Millennium Park to have a sketchcrawl. As you can see we had a pretty decent turnout. We had tons of fun and drew lots of pictures. Below are a couple of sketches I did.
I mostly drew the people in our group because every time I tried to draw someone else they would disappear. Anyways, the above sketch is Gabe and Gari.
Al, Ernst, and some random guy with a mohawk.
Above is a piece of cardboard that everyone took turns drawing on.
