Whenever I travel, I try to make some memories in the form of sketches. This is a view from Hilton Sydney hotel's lounge on the 36th floor. The hotel is built in the city center. It has a view of beautiful historic buildings and a cool new tram. It was built in the last two years, and now it's very easy to get to city harbor. What I love about Sydney is the preservation of historic buildings.

I'm always … Continue reading .036 North Italia House Plants, interior drawing

This tree trunk was kind of interesting, and I didn't get a chance to finish it at the time of … Continue reading .033 Abrupt Tree, pen drawing
Throwback to the times when it was okay to go to a restaurant. This was around Christmas time, so the tables were decorated with evergreens and cranberries. Those were the good times. Pen on 3.5 x 5 inch travel notepad
Sometimes, a cup is more than it seems. Sometimes, it has ears.
This piece took me about 30 minutes, and I wish I had done it on a better paper. I used rough newsprint, and it's not the best paper for longer poses. Still, I'm fairly satisfied with the results, especially considering that I didn't get the best vantage point for this pose.
Sometimes, I think of characters from video games while drawing, and then I end up with something heroic ^_^
A couple of quick, but interesting gestures. Especially the one on the left, what is it up to?! The one on the right looks as if it's half-submerged into a bath of milk 😀
