I have always enjoyed old movies, you Know the black and white kind, even the silent kind. I studied film in college and still consider myself to be a movie snob. Don't get me wrong I do like popcorn movies but the fact that a great story can be ruined by by crumby editing and framing. So I wanted a monochromatic( one color palette) feel but not be black and white, B&W is monochromatic but with grey.


Sorry about photo quality

Anyway here is my weird attempt to draw with marker. I have these prismamarkers and I am trying to run them out before I leave. (moving to Germany end of October) One prisma ran out in the middle of the piece, there is my problem with them to begin with, the other is about to die. I am changing to COPIC a japanese marker that has a brush tip that has a lot of give and refillable. I still like my finish piece.

Wiiiiiiiiii!!

The hard part of drawing for 1000 hours is the task finding thing to draw that are interesting and unique. i sat on my favorite IKEA chair chose the first thing that would catch my eye. My Wii controller and nunhuk, it is white so my Copic markers are up for this challenge. I like the markers for their ability to layer and build the value of grays. Picture below.

Saturday. Starbucks. Tons of subjects. But as usual, my subjects kept moving, so I went back to drawing my peaches. After finding a corner to peruse the room, I got to drawing. I just bought these drawing trading cards made by Strathmore. They measure 3.5' x 2.5'. I thought I would try using these today.



After a while, I started drawing a guy who had his back to me, and spent about 15 minutes with pencils and markers (COPICS). I gave him the card when I was done, but he didn't seem so enthused. I went back to my peaches, then started drawing a gal sitting in on one of the comfy chairs. Fifteen minutes later, I got interrupted by the guy I drew earlier. He thanked me and gave me 5 BUCKS!! Righteous bucks!!



I finished my other card and gave it to the gal. I think she like it. She was very nice. I hope to have 2 new blog followers. I decided to put the blog address on these cards whenever I give them out. Pictures below.
