Just a few examples of my sketchbook stuff with digital color.

Construction zone worker sketch

I've always admired the brave folks who can work in the dead of summer doing road construction. It's hot, smelly, sweaty, back-breaking, sticky and quite dangerous. I couldn't help but do a quick sketch and toss in a quick hit of digital color to capture the moment.

Travel sketch

This is a colorized image I did out of my sketchbook while on vacation last year. We were in line to catch the car ferry from Victoria, BC to Port Angeles, WA and saw this old hippie sort of guy outside of his car obviously trying to get a wi-fi signal for his phone. What really caught my attention wasn't necessarily his looks but what happened when the border guards came up to his car and noticing some recreational drugs that we could smell from afar. I think they let him off with a warning- but he was definitely a character worth sketching during my travels.
