Sketches

Here's a cross section of my sketchbook(s), about a third, spanning from helsinki through italy. I'm no Picasso, so the majority of my sketches are intended as visual note taking, which involved quick studies in recording the conceptual or compositional ideas that spoke to me. As a result, I tried to keep the "scene" sketches to a minimum, not only because they take much longer but often hold similar content to the quick 5-10min character sketches, supplemented with short hand notes. Occasional splashes of color always help too.
