Allez-y simplement pour faire des croquis plus souvent
By Laura Frankstone in Chapel Hill, NC. I find I’m sketching less. Painting more, illustrating more, but sketching less. The solution to this problem for me, a drawer since age 2, seems to be to follow my own desire for simplicity. Pencils, paper, and what my eye is, you will pardon the expression, drawn to. […]

Sleepy Sunday morning, Chapel Hill
I wanted to make sure to get some July sketches posted, so here they are. It’s overcast, very hot, and quiet today. I hope for rain.
Manger du gelato
You would think that people sitting in a café that sells gelato, espresso drinks, cakes, and martinis would be happy. I thought they were happy as I drew them, if I thought about it at all. When I got home and looked at the faces in my sketchbook, I saw a different story. Was it […]
Croquis de la boutique
J'adore la boutique de vêtements tenue par deux amis très chers et j'avais envie depuis longtemps de croquer quelques vignettes de son intérieur. En voici trois. La prochaine fois, j'espère pouvoir inclure Amy et Katherine dans les dessins... elles étaient occupées avec des clients lorsque j'ai fait ces dessins.
You will have more adventure!
Like all Urban Sketchers, I’m always at the ready for adventure! I was so happy when my fortune cookie told me I had more in store soon. It’s not the Oracle of Delphi, my fortune cookie, but it knows what it knows. And like all Urban Sketchers, I like to be on the move. Here […]
Two restaurant vignettes, my town
I’m making lots of food illustrations for a foodlovers’ guide to our area, so this means I’ve been eating in lots of restaurants lately. Here are two recent sketches from all that dining! I also took a few moments to sketch President Obama last night, at his health care press conference. I added color today. […]
All around the town, with pen and paint
In the midst of a busy summer, I eked out a few sketches recently, three for the 23rd International Sketchcrawl yesterday and one, because why not. Happy July to one and all!
