West 14th

I've been wanting to draw this house on West 14th for some time.  I did this for the woman who lives there.  I just sent it off to her, and I hope that she likes it.  It's an absolutely spectacular sight that I get to see on a regular basis.

Bradgate

While my wife ran an errand, I did this pencil sketch of a nice house in the West Park area of Cleveland.

Pencil Sketches

 

Here's some sketches that I discovered tucked in my clipboard. They're 8b woodless graphite pencil on loose bond paper.

Warehouse District

Here's a sketch from yesterday of St. Clair Ave. in the Warehouse District. I used to work at the end of W.9th st. in the building that sits 2 feet north of the Main Avenue Bridge. When we first moved in, only one building had been restored in the district. Now they're ALL restored, except for the building I worked in!

Who were you?

Hello,
Someone emailed me the other day about coming to the Cleveland area this upcoming weekend.  They were looking to meet up with people to sketch.

Unfortunately, my gmail account ate the email, and I can't reach you.

Would you please email me again at urbansketcherscleveland@gmail.com?

Thank you!

I usually start out with 3 or 4 thumbnails for composition, about 1" x 2".

I decided on the centered version of the Terminal Tower with just one tree, 

tried to draw jets that were in a flight path above us, but erased them.

Great day for sketching and a good turnout.

Here's an earlier sketch from Grove Court near W. 25.

My first contribution to Urban Sketchers!

I liked the red pick-up with the blue sign.
