More Trial Sketches

This sketch includes the judge, defendant and one of the defense team.

The judge and two renderings of the lead defense attorney.

I did this sketch during the voir dire. It includes people sitting next to me in the jury box and the lawyers. I worked with a medium Pitt artist pen to do the ink sketches. Later I added Daniel Smith watercolors.

Trial Sketches

One of the many perks of my day job is access to trials. I sat in on a few parts of the proceedings going on in the 147th Judicial District Court this week. I primarily worked in ink and added the watercolor later. I like to draw all over the paper with faces and poses. I tend to place the players on the paper without regard to the actual format of the courtroom. My interest is in getting the personalities down and to move on to the next sketch. This was a white collar crime case.

Green Mesquite From H2O

A few weekends ago I went to the local H2O car wash to get my car cleaned up. While waiting I drew one of my favorite dining spots Green Mesquite on Barton Springs road. I later added watercolor at home. The signage was probably the hardest part of the rendering.

Leisure Time

This is a Micron pen sketch that I covered with a watercolor wash. It depicts a scene from Charleston, South Carolina. I was attracted to the guys sitting on the bench and the people in the background. These guys were just hanging out during a workweek or maybe they were taking a break from work. I worked on this new handmade drawing paper from Spain called Garza Papel.
