Happy Veteran’s Day to those who served for our country.

I am still working on that food project but it’s in a messy stage right now so it isn’t quite feeling photogenic.

However, I am posting a rare glimpse into my morning portrait sketchbook. I don’t post these every day because they aren’t meant to be works of art. They are my way to focus. It’s a nice way to start the day and the quirky sketches actually give me ideas for characters. I use the SKTCHY App for my references photos most of the time.

The reference photo for this sketch had a man looking out over what looked like Manhattan and he had a chocolate/coffee looking drink in a cocktail glass in his hand, with a SWEDISH FISH as a garnish.

I had to look at it twice. Cool. Would love to know what drink it was so I did the sketch. I like practicing profiles anyway.

I also posted the sketch on SKTCHY. It’s always interesting when the little blue flowers in the paper show up in the right places.
