During a Sketchcrawl in April (The above pic is from the most recent crawl), I discovered the benefits of sketching with one of those Faber Castell PITT brush pens. I have pretty much been sketching on location exclusively with this pen ever since. I think I like it so much because it forces me to loosen up, and only put down the most essential of details.
I went through a tree obsession a while ago, here's a selection of trees.
These came out Fantastic, John! Yeah I like sketching in brush pen too. Sometimes I get caught up trying to redraw the same line over and over with a pencil. The brush really does help my concentration and forces me to put down only the strokes that count. Great stuff!!!
nice sketches, airports always provide a great variety of people. If you want to see some great characters I suggest the Greyhound bus station in downtown LA.....or any Wal-mart.....both can be scary tho'.....

These are rad, John.
