Rare Sketchbook Doodle

I don't tend to post sketchbook drawings...mostly because they're usually just shorthand notes for paintings, and not worth looking at. But this one I like. Durring my Dick Tracy days, I did a lot of these little city composition sketches. In fact, there was a while there, where I was doing them on an Etch A Sketch...just for fun. I actually got pretty good at it. Maybe I'll see if I can still do it, and post the results.

Maybe.

I have enough trouble drawing without trying to do it on an etch-a-sketch!

Huahuahauhau! I would love to see a etch a sketch drawing of yours someday! Nice cityscape!

Etch A Sketch?? Jeez... love to see that!

thats so awesome how you got that foreground element in there- for me its a surprisingly-challenging thing to do when youre working with a far out city scape shot like that. You did it rather easily with lighting. Well done. Thanks for posting!

Awesome to see you posting again! Always inspiring.

Hey there Paul!
Great sketches in these latest posts, I loved the squared leaves one!
Now that you've mentioned the Etch-a-Sketch, I guess I have to tell you about another one of our silly web toys.. check out the etchy.org website ;D
Hope all is well with you and your family in LA!
Stay well my friend!
Hugs,
Ale

Beautifull pencilwork. Reminds a little of the great works of Hugh Ferris, Metropolis of tommorow.You probably know of his work.

I like your work, anyway, I just saw it for the first time...

Great one, and a good thing that you start showing your sketches, I'm sure they are really worth to see them. Show more, please.

Paul, that's lovely. :) It's a great study in shapes and shading and I wish I could do it as effortlessly as you make it seem. I hope you had a lovely time in Italy!

Incidentally the Lord of the Rings Symphony happens in 2 weeks on the 19th to the 21st of December. We're -all- panicking - especially me. The administrative details have been making me lose my -mind-.

Good work.

I find it a little upsetting that you consider these "not worth looking at".
I personally think it's more interesting than the paintings.

I'd love to see some etch a sketch pictures, too.

I have to say that sketches are some of the most beautiful aspects of finished art. I love seeing how you think from the start!
