シンプルなスケッチをする頻度を増やす
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. Thus, some simple, recent sketches of mine. With these, I feel that I’ve broken the ice of my recent near avoidance of sketching as it seems to have become a more and more complicated genre. But it is what you make of it… and so I go back to my drawing roots and I feel […]

チャペルヒル（ノースカロライナ州）での外食
アクランドミュージアムストアで開催されるアーバンスケッチャーズのショーを見に来た人は、食通のパラダイスにいることに気づくだろう。ここには有名なレストランがいくつかありますが、そのうちのひとつ、クルックス・コーナーは、ニューヨーク・タイムズ紙によると「グルメの聖地」なのだそうです。料理も美味しいし、スケッチも楽しいですよ。これはそのレストランの最新のスケッチで、私が何年もかけて描いた多くのスケッチのうちの2つです。ぜひお越しください。

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.
Eating 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 remorse, disappointment, nostalgia for the lost ice cream of their childhoods that made their faces sad? Alas, we will never know.
ブティックのスケッチ
I love the clothing shop run by two dear friends and have long wanted to sketch some vignettes of its interior. Here are three. Next time, I hope to include Amy and Katherine in the drawings… they were busy with customers when I made these.
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 are some more of my attempts to sketch fast, in the car. Not driving. And if you’re looking for proper perspective and scale, you’ll need to look elsewhere. I’m just trying to get that moving car gestalt down!
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. It’s not a great likeness, but you get the idea, I think!
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!
