Seattle - WA - USA [Results]
Had a great time meeting everyone! I'm very happy to have had 6 people show up for our first run, even if SAM wouldn't let us use anything but pencil. (Do all art museums have that restriction? It hadn't occured to me, but I guess it makes sense).
Anyway, I was a bit rusty, so no masterpieces, but it was great fun all the same!
Very rough ink warmups, before the guards caught me:

I'm lucky enough to have my own server space. I noticed Tim used Flickr for his boat. I like Flickr because they let you mark your images with specific permissions for other people's use (if I were more than an amateur, I'd care about this ever more <grin>). The free accounts let you upload a fair amount each month, as I recall.

I'm looking forward to see Tim's sketches. I had only a glimse and I want to see the complete products!
ExDancer, if you would please post your pre-sketches, and I'm so sorry you had to leave early.

Tim, those are the giant grosshoppers caged...they are real green and people will put a pair in a closed space for fighting... they are kept for a very short pet...and i've seen very very complicaed pretty vages people will make them houses.
alright got my stuff photo'd, pardon the low light photos.
My first time making it to the real sketch crawl and was so nice meeting everyone.
Tim had a wonderful wonderful tiny watercolor kit he made himself, that totally shows an enginner's genius...I think I'm gonna copy that and make myself something similiar
Cant wait till the next crawl :D
here are my sketches, and it's been so long i havent done anything, it took me maybe more than 1 hour on the 1st one and i still screwed up...and 2nd one i ran out of patience. did both these at the same spot and while i was working on the 1st one i had pensil and some guards came by looking, and on2nd one no one bothered me about using a pen. but that was quick one anyway.
after lunch i did 3rd and on 4th i used conte a paris, and it's my favrourite of the day 3rd one i was using a pen and while i almost finished a guard came by apologizing to me that I can only use pencil, and even offered his pencil, but i was running out of paper <haha bad planning> and since i was in a sculpure room he was nice and allowed me finish//but no pen any where else in the museum tho
Then i had dinner at xiaoxuan's place and draw her while she was reading
That all, i hope for a better day next time:D hope to meet more people too!

Here are my results, good bad or indifferent, after much fiddling with cameras, scanners, and the internet, all from my small Moleskine WC sketchbook:
The gang, ready to take on the SAM, armed with sketchbooks, pencils, and soon-to-be-banned pens and inks
They have a bunch of "illuminated" cars suspended from the ceiling in the lobby. I don't know if it's art, but it's tough to draw! Pen/ink/gouache.
Pen/ink version of a large painting of a pretty lady. The guards never caught me- perhaps because my Microns are pretty unobtrusive.
Japanese masks. Pen/ink.
Picture frame detail. Mechanical pencil. I only got about half of the complexity that was there. Can't believe somebody carved this!
It's been said before but I'll say it again: Sculptures are great at posing. Mechanical pencil/gouache.
Another sculpture. Mechanical pencil.
Last one of the day. Littlefish doing her cool Conte drawing of the Cupid statue. Mechanical pencil/ink/gouache.
I thought it was a great time and I hope we can all get together again for the next one. I'll bet we can use pens at the aquarium!
