Since I have to be on the road so much these days, I'm taking advantage of the passenger time to make more quick sketches of cars and trucks---and it IS fun to let go of control (mostly) and try to get down just minimal shapes and colors and movement!
Being on the road means eating in restaurants, too. Why just in the past week I've been to China AND Spain! Or some places that tasted awfully like them.
<< See you on the road!
I love the fortune cookie motto stuck into the picture!
The cars and lorries are great, they seem balanced and realistic without being at all rectilinear, very clever!

Thanks so much, everyone! Elizabeth and Deborah, I used Pitt Artist brush pens and Bienfang watercolor brush pens (which I don't recommend, actually) as I was in the car sketching and then added some splashes of watercolor when I got home. I make a big mess in the car. Oops.

Your sketches have a lot of energy and I can hear the trucks on the road and see the cars tooting along. Love the colors, too!

Amazing! I've tried drawing on the orad, but it goes way too fast for me! Your pages are all so well designed too.
