 Pen & ink with Inktense pencils.  Still have a long ways to go, but it's been enjoyable sketching outdoors.   Hadn't drawn in ages.

  1. I love the vintage buildings. They remind me of the old towns on the east coast, although I remember them as darker and more sinister in places. You've captured their characters wonderfully though, what I imagine is the sunnier west coast variety!

    1. The ones you remember are likely far older than these. The buildings in the west are relatively young. I think the oldest are probably less than 150 years. Thank you!
