I did this quick sketch on my commute home. I decided to add just a touch of color but leave the rest a line drawing.

PDX USK Scavenger Hunt: Heritage Tree

Image
It was so nice out today I caught some good shadows on this tree. I'm loving this hunt because, not only did I find out about Heritage trees, but found one in my neighborhood.  Also, because it was so nice out, I had several people stop and ask me what I was doing and I haven't had a drawing spectator in a while. It was fun.

PDXUSK Scavenger Hunt: Someone Drinking Coffee

This afternoon I was stuck in our weekly meeting and did a quick sketch of my coworker drinking an Ice Coffee from a travel mug. Sorry it's so light.

PDXUSK - Scavenger Hunt: Benson Blubbler

Image
My office is in downtown Portland, overlooking the corner next to Pioneer Square. I happen to have a straight shot view of a Benson Bubbler outside my window (of course 10 stories up so not up close). If you are wondering what a "Benson Bubbler" is click  Benson Bubblers  I did this quick lunch time sketch for the hunt (I exaggerated the bubbler for this purpose). Enjoy, and happy sketching:
