If the Friday sketchers hadn’t met at Top Pot Doughnuts this morning, I probably would have gone through
the day unaware that today is Elvis’s birthday. But thankfully we did meet at the shop’s West Seattle
location on Alki Avenue, where the “hand-forged” doughnut company was recognizing
what would have been the King’s 81st birthday. I decided to pass on the
King’s Rings (maple-frosted doughnuts encrusted with thick squares of bacon),
but there was plenty else to sketch in the large yet cozy space.
During a typical 2.5 hour sketch outing, I tend to do two or
three sketches. Today I felt like doing a series of small sketches. I even
ventured outside the store for one sketch of the street, but that didn’t last
long (my phone weather app said it was 37 F).

I like your use of the colored pencil to give the sketches depth. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat brush pen drawings, Tina. I love the 'hand-forged' donuts :-)
