stuff from the last days
Hi,
first post here.
spring has finally hit town and I spend some time outdoors sketching. Random stuff. figure sketches are stolen at a climbing place. I missed the 2nd sketchcrawl by a day, looking forward to the next one.

all, Thanks for the encouraging comments.
Janbow : not sure I get it, I'm afraid. but cheers anyway I suspect that each medium is bringing back a different layer of "influences" than, say, digital tools or even paints would. This kind of line works is probably related to the bandes dessinees ( comic books ) I was reading as a kid. and all the classic illustrations, if that's you were refering to.
Tools are a crap ball pen ( not even a brand on it I started to use by accident last week when I forgot my usual gear, and the other is a cool Pentel brushpen GFKP - ( permanent china ink ).
watercolor I think I did the weekend of the of the second SC, but I had no idea of the thing - then. I have learned that trying to dry watercolors under heavy snow ain't can be gory. This one survived.

well i'm still very impressed. especially since i hate ballpens.
it's the way you use line for shadow that I was thinking of. Also i have a pentel brush pen (dupuy and berberian's book about lisbon inspired me to get it - have you seen that?) but have always failed miserably with it. but your trees are great.
nice snow too!

another one I tweaked yesterday with white gouache on blossoms. Sketchbook's paper is actually kinda yellowish, so i though I might give it a try.
Janbow, I see what you mean now, like on the church one, kinda Gustave Dore and these etching illustrator techniques ? ... I guess It came from the nature of the tool I was stuck with I'm starting to love this, adapting and getting surprised by every new medium ( for me ).
I know Dupuy and B, but I'll have to look at that very book.
