Back Home

I have not been able to post lately because I had a business trip in California that took up a lot of time. It was tiring but very fun and a great experience. I meet a lot of new interesting people. Our hotel, The Fairmont, was right across from the San Jose Museum of Art and I never had a chance to go inside! They had an exhibition going on about the art of robots which seemed cool to see. Well next time I'm in San Jose, I will make it a point to actually go in :) Let me know if you have been inside.

When we were heading back home our flight got delayed three hours so we had plenty of time to kill. I chose to take the opportunity to sketch something since I have not had the time recently. I managed to find a store in the airport that sold regular pencils and I had a notebook that was given to me at the conference so I was set. I needed a subject so my immediate thought was to draw the airplane I was watching in the window. Nevertheless, the plane started to move and was out of site within a minute. I then tried to sketch a skateboarder I shot on my digital camera while I was sitting in the park across from a couple days before, but I could not get the camera to sit properly and it kept turning off as well. It finally hit me to flip through the magazine that was sitting next to me to get some ideas. I wanted to practice faces anyway. I choose Maroon 5's Adam Levine and went to work. I started in the airport of San Francisco and finished it on the plane. Despite the poor light and very tired eyes I was determined to finish it.
