Am I too early for the scavenger hunt?


Yay!  Okay, the scavenger hunt involves things I usually sketch anyway so that works pretty well for me :)  This is good motivation to keep it up and to start posting on here.

I just got laid off/put on furlough again :( so I'm devoting some free time to doing a sketch a day.


Maybe that one could count as someone drinking coffee - but you can't tell that's what they're doing.



This is Powell's bookstore, in the coffee shop.


This is Oaks Park roller skating rink.  I went roller skating, then sketched, then skated again. 



Here's a view from a window.  Blue Moon Mcmenamin's on NW 21st.  Also, trees with no leaves.


Another view through a window:  Goldrush Coffee Shop on NE MLK.




Coco's Donut Shop across from the Jeld Wen Field Max stop.  Note, donuts.




Courier Coffee Shop near Powell's City of Books.  Another view through a window.

Thanks for the motivation to post.  I will do more and join the official scavenger hunt at the appropriate time.  So excited!

Andrea

  1. Andrea, I'm so glad you are posting here, because now I can look at your wonderful drawings again and again! I especially love the Elephant's Deli and Blue Moon sketches because they are such great compositions with empty space and lots of detail and textures in parts. They're all terrific. I think you're making very good use of your time:)

  3. Wow, Andrea! Love to see that you were already up and running on this scavenger hunt as soon as the list was posted! Well done. I am enchanted by your pen and ink technique in general, but I especially love the bicycle that's framed through the window/door--superb composition. Makes me eager to get to work on the scavenger hunt myself!
