Early Bird Session

It's nothing really to write home about, but here's a quick negative space study from this morning. I've been going out once or twice a week during the weekdays to sketch with a few Pixar folks. Some of them are there at about 6:45 in the morning to get in a painting before starting their work day. Now that's dedication! I showed up today, greeted by a bitingly cold and windy Emeryville pier.... and promptly decided to paint from the comfort of the passenger seat of my car. And as much as I love boats, I've really been into trees lately. So this cypress isn't exactly a pier scene, though it sits right along the water, with the entire San Francisco skyline behind it.

Dice mentioned a great idea of possibly starting a collaborative blog based on what everyone feels like showing from our sessions, in which case you'll definitely be seeing some very enjoyable work by some insanely talented artists.
