Somebody studying in Starbucks? WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

There is a distinct possibility I was up all night playing Mass Effect 2 and this was done in during sunrise.

My so-called balcony is actually the top of a sketchy walkup that feels like it’s going to collapse at any second and just generally creeps me out. The view is crap, so here are my feet.

Drawn at the Fanatics sports bar, which makes basically my favourite pizza anywhere.

Back when I was doing these sorts of drawings regularly, I used to be pretty good at composing ‘em. It is not like riding a bike.

There was some generic Canada day stuff going on down by the waterfront today – barbecue, people with dogs, music, facepainting, and so on. Here are some people on the grass! The problem with drawing people facing in your direction is that eventually they tend to notice you staring at them, but when the greenshirted girl did finally come up and look, she was pretty gracious about the whole thing, so that’s nice. One day, somebody’s gonna get annoyed with me. That day has not yet come!

It’s July. The weather is, on the whole, pretty nice. I spend too much time at my desk. Also, I’ve developed a tendency to leave dailies until the wee hours of the night. (HAVE YOU NOTICED?) These two facts in mind, comes the July theme – every day, I’m going to go out into the world and find somebody or something to draw, journal-style. It’s something I haven’t done regularly since school, and frankly, I kind of miss it. Plus, it’ll give me a chance to document the wonderful world of Kingston, Ontario, an excellent place to spend a summer.
