This week’s assignment: A portrait in nature. Since I usually give my bevy of models Fridays off, I walked down the block to this statue of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt on the edge of Riverside Park. Drew this with Copic sketch markers and a Kuretake brush pen.

Here’s the same statue in real life:

Watching L.A. Story and attempting to sketch Steve Martin.

Sketcher’s block? No problem, I’ll just draw my current favorite subject in his cool new hat.

Okay, this might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever posted.

Yet another cool iPad painting app (collect them all!), called Sketch Club, includes a brush that lets you paint with words. I apologize.
