3/31/18 Roy talking about his new book. |
Since it was the day before Easter, I happened to have
several eggs in my bag that I had hard-boiled. I sketched him first on paper,
but what’s the challenge in that? Sketching on a curved, rough surface is much
harder.
The afternoon turned out warm (mid-50s!) and sunny. After
the book signing, I didn’t have to go far to spot the First Lutheran Church from the store’s parking lot.
I took a short walk around the corner, and a bright yellow
Oto bike caught my eye. I’d already used my yellow egg for the church, so all I
had left was a pink one.
In case you are planning to do any urban sk-egg-ing
yourself, here’s the best pen for the job: a Tombow fudenosuke brush pen. The first time I tried urban sk-egg-ing
a few years ago in Tacoma, I used a Copic Multiliner SP technical pen, and
the point was too stiff and fine to get a good line on a curved, rough surface.
The Tombow brush tip has just enough give that I enjoyed the line I was able to
get on the eggs. (And the ink is non-toxic, of course.)

Happy Easter to those who celebrate, and to those who don’t,
Happy Colored Egg Day!
Cute idea, Ms Miata Girl! Had not thought of drawing on Easter eggs.
