Getting over a string of illnesses we decided to take it easy this past Memorial weekend so I sat outside, enjoyed the fresh air and some relaxing sketching. The first batch was from a park near my house - there was a group of young boys there that were destined for trouble. They owned the park, hitting things, climbing all over it - completely without fear and unbreakable. I wish I was their age again!
The next batch was from the Farmers Market in Los Angeles:
This is often the look I get when I don't realize I'm observing someone for too long. He looked like the late Bernie Mac so this is what I imagine he was thinking (- read in a Bernie Mac voice.)
These old guys were deep into a discussion and looked like they were planning some kind of robbery
Also, here's the trailer for Wreck-It-Ralph!
Update: This is for Nima and David -
I just use my pocket knife - to cut a chisel tip in a sharpie nib.
I started doing this a long time ago when I board my story thumbnails on paper - Allows me to make big bold as well as sharp permanent ugly marks and not get too caught up in the details. The best is when the pen starts to die! -

String of illnesses? Hope everyone is feeling much better!
Wow, these are amazing! thanks for sharing
sweet drawings..
Really nice sketches! I love the sense of story in all of them.
These are GREAT, son!
What kind of pen do you use? your work is the tops!
thank you for the nice comments - they're much appreciated!
Carrie - everyone's better now, thanks - but for a while it was just back to back illness. Some of it due to the daycare my son is in. Operation complete disinfection in the works!
Nima - I take a sharpie and then use a pocket knife to make a chisel tip in it. I always have about 3 on me and the best is when the Sharpie is just starting to run out of ink and die.
Paul, I am curious about how exactly you cut the chisel tip? Would love to see some pictures to try it out :)
Nima and David: just added a photo to show you the pen I use.
Awesome! Thanks very much Paul, now on to testing!
oh, and now I cant wait for Ralph!! Looks so beautiful!
