Weekend in San Francisco
Big blog post today. I recently came back from a wedding for my cousin in Napa. Here are a few sketches to share, for better or worse. Congrats to the newlyweds, Matt and Angelica!
-
- Waiting to be seated at House of Prime Rib.
-
- Observers at the Richard Diebenkorn exhibit at the de Young Museum.
-
- A little hard to decipher, but I was trying to sketch the view from the de Young observation tower. The dark shape is grove of trees.
-
- Some trees across from the Japanese Tea Garden.
-
- Gestures of Chef Sandy Sauter at a cooking demo at the Culinary Institute of America.
-
- Chef Sauter demonstrates how to make a tomato tart confit.
-
- Finishing up the demo.
-
- Congrats to Matt and Angelica!
-
- View of the golf course from the reception hall.
-
- Gestures of random travelers.
-
- Finally arrived in Seattle at 1am.
Dinner with the Pham-ily
Had dinner with Thang and Jennifer. You guys have some adorable kids!
-
- The Pham-ily: Elijah, Jennifer, Thang, and Emma.
-
- Emma watches me sketch: “Whatcha drawing?”
Sunday sketches
I didn’t post these earlier because I was feeling a little self-conscious. I caught a video earlier today from someone who said something to the effect of if you start out with the premise that you’re crappy, it takes off the pressure of trying to be amazing, and the more you draw, the less crappy you’ll get… or… something like that. I know it’s not super-profound, but in a way, I still need to hear these little encouragements to prod myself to continue to draw. It’s like how basketball is a game of confidence: if you make a turnover or a bad play, there’s always another play to redeem yourself.
-
- This was a demo sketch of James’ dad, Billy, and sister Vivian. I was showing him what he could do with a mid-tone marker I gave him. Keep drawing, James!
-
- Random sketches at church.
-
- “Pitch Perfect” never gets old… for some people.
Chilling at the Wang’s
663 Bistro sketch
Thursday sketch dump
A few sketches from various moments throughout the day.
-
- Copper dropped by the office for a visit. At first, she was pretty hyper and ignoring commands, but she settled down after a few moments.
-
- A waitress cleans tables at Hello Vietnam (left). Matt Nathanson concert with his accompanying guitarist.
-
- More Matt Nathanson sketches.
-
- Have to remind myself to not worry about making a pretty picture and try to learn as I draw. Good concert overall!
Lighting study
Lighting study in the lobby area outside the office, early evening.
