I've been making little thumbnails in crayon and color pencil after work in my sketchbook. Making more tactile art and with such low commitment materials has honestly been something I've been finding really centering in the midst of these hazy days in CA

I did quite a few exploratory sketches to settle on a composition with staging that I liked, and I'm including that one, plus the value comp and the color rough!

@Taijuey Also, for anyone interested, I have some scans of an article on what his methods and process were like!

Some sketchbook studies from Google Street View! This kind of exercise has been great for upping my comfort levels when dealing with complex architectural scenes, and committing to the process in ballpoint helps with decision making! #sketchbook #ballpointpen #mapcrunch

Some sketchbook pages! I've been spending more time exploring ideas and doing studies in here, and I feel it's been helping with being more reactive and worrying less about perfection. #sketchbook #vernaculararchitecture #architecturedesign #visdevart

@TuffWaffles All is cake in the end

Some bits from a sketchbook. Lately I've been appreciating more the unfinished nature of drawings like these- probably because most things I do are such a rendering marathon! #sketchbook #sketch #MaySketchaDay #kidlitart #characterdesign

And some of the sketches that helped develop the idea!
