Every once in a while, I get stuck in a waiting room. No, I'm not sick, but I do know some folks who, on occasion, need a ride to the doctor's office.
Some of you might think sitting in the waiting room can be rather dull. For some, this may be the case, but not for me. When I go on these outings, I take my Port-O-Studio with me. It can consist of as little as a drawing pad and a pencil, but in mine, I have the following:
- .07 H.B. Mechanical Pencil
- 01, 03, 05 Micron Pens
- Pentel Brush Pen
- Pentel Water Brush
- General White Charcoal Pencil
- Erasers
- Pencil Sharpener
- Copic Black Marker
- Small Watercolor Pallet
Utilizing the above tools, I created the image above "Bison." I started with a reference image I took this summer in Yellowstone Park. I made a quick sketch with a pencil, then started scribbling away with the Miron pens. Once I had the piece to where I liked it, I began to add ink washes to the work to give it some weight. Then I went over it again with the Micron pens until I was happy. This entire process took about half an hour.
In my opinion, this is not a bad way to spend your time in a waiting room.
P.S. If you would like a print of this piece, you can purchase one at the Shop.
