An isometric cityscape, the likes of which I might have drawn as a kid, contains elements from real life – a reflection of random thoughts on paper. In the upper right corner is a garden that we built this summer in our front yard. It was designed to match the neighbors’ garden. On the left is some industrial process equipment, similar to things I’ve seen on job sites when I worked in the field. There’s also a train, because in the future there will be more trains.

In the drawing, I started out just scribbling with one of my fountain pens, but I quickly felt lost so I picked up a pencil and sketched out a rough idea of where I wanted to take the drawing. Then I continued with the ink and at the end I decided to add some color so I picked out a nice palette of prismacolors and filled it in.

I’ve got another drawing of our squirrel friend. Here she is eating some almond flakes, strategically placed on the fence where I could snap a reference picture.

This drawing was done in a small sketchbook with various wooden pencils and a fine eraser. I started it a few months ago and left it unfinished for one reason or another.

Here is my YT Short, finishing up the sketch.

One day a few weeks ago, we were driving the Seward Highway and had to stop for a rock slide. I decided to take a picture and later I drew it in my sketchbook.
