Drawing fast

Freshly returned to the Bay Area from Pittsburgh, I’m feeling visually inspired–both by my longtime muse, who goes by the name of Bart, and by the whimsically urban Laney College campus, where I’m taking a portrait drawing course.  I’ve been doing a lot of fast sketching and am feeling pretty pleased with it.  Here are some recent drawings.  As you can see, I’ve dolled them up, to one degree or another, in photoshop.

 

Here are two of my favorites from BART.

And here are two from Laney College, where I sat in bleachers overlooking the swimming pool. The sky was full of helicopters in anticipation of further protest over the killing of Oscar Grant.
