First Five Days of Sketchpad project

I was invited to take part on a project for fun that is about doing one sketch a day. This is an idea from my friends in Cape Town South Africa. I thought it was interesting and exciting. this little accordion booklet will go there once I reach the end of the month!
here are the first 5 days and these are urban sketches of Boston. I noted geo location time of the day and date
The sketches are done in ink with a Lamy and digitally colored with my own personal set of self made Photoshop brushes

Downtown Boston

I am not really happy with this sketch. Sometimes I have better portrait days and sometimes I do better city sketches, I don’t know what it depends on

Urban Sketcher Challenge. -Draw your Kitchen

I tried Dr. Martin’s watercolors on Canson watercolor panels. The last two are on Bristol plate panel. I like this panels a lot. it’s easier to scan without warping the paper, and also it is easier to avoid “poodles” of paint

very vibrant ! I love the saturation
