Last week on a morning sketchabout, I spotted a cute Vespa
in the ‘hood. I sketched it in my red Field Notes. Even on a full-page spread
(which, granted, is only 5 ½ by 7 inches), I managed to run out of space for
the front wheel.
The very next day, driving through the Green Lake
neighborhood, I spotted an orange Stella scooter. I pulled over immediately to
sketch it, this time in my Stillman & Birn. I don’t know why, but I started
drawing the rearview mirrors near the middle of the page – so I nearly ran out
of space again when I got to the wheels! It’s one of my ongoing sketching
challenges – I don’t always plan the composition carefully on the page.

Good sketches. I sometimes have at same problem.
ReplyDeleteLove your scooters. The one on red paper was simply going places :-) That said, working 'outside->in' as Marc Holmes calls it is the solution. If you identify the subject edges before you start drawing, this problem disappears.
