Some sketching at restaurants!
I’ve been making it a habit to bring the good ol’ Moleskine whenever I go out. Making these quick sketches combine three favorite activities of mine: people watching, going out to eat, and of course, drawing.
All sketches done with pencil or ballpoint pen and PITT pens; varying from 1 to 15 minutes sketch time.
I’ve been trying to do more and more sketching on the iPad. I mess around with a few different drawing apps, but nothing really comes close to Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, which I’ve been a fan of for years in its previous iterations.

Quick figure studies and sketches for practice.
The sketched out scenes were done in about 1-2 minutes, while the other figure drawings were just a few seconds for each.
First three sketches were done using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro for iPad. Last two using ballpoint pen and PITT brush pens.
A few sketches of your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
Sidenote: I was inspired to sketch the second and third drawings while I was at the final “Gathering of the Gargoyles” convention (in 2009), which included a lot of the cast and crew from “The Spectacular Spider-Man” animated series!
The first sketch of ol’ webhead was done using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and a Wacom Intuos. The other two are from a sketchbook, pencil, ballpoint pen and PITT pens.
Recently, I was in NYC and fortunate enough to spare some time to check out the Tim Burton exhibit at the MoMA. While I was there, I thought it would be a good opportunity to do some sketching (especially since photography was not allowed within the main exhibit).

A few years ago, while burning the midnight oil at TEQUILA\, I took a break and came up with these bread icons for instant messaging. I used these little guys to represent the sort of state of mind I was in.
I misplaced the original illustration files, but I have this screencap to reminisce.
Not sure what “Buttered” meant, but I know I did use “BURNT” a lot. A whole lot.
