Gotham City Library
Here is the first sketch in a series of sketches that I am working on, based on photographs I took in New York City. We only had 4 days in NYC Manhattan, so sketching time was limited. But I did take a ton of photos, capturing little scenes I wanted to sketch out. This one is the beginning of the NYC Library…scenes all over town like this made me realize why NYC was such a huge inspiration to Comic Book artist since the very beginning. This one is for you Gotham.

This is very inspirational to me Dom! I like the overall looseness of it. Why Red? I guess why not! Is that a person at the bottom? I’m so excited for the zoo. lets go soon!
Thanks Chad! Ya, its still a work in progress, but I wanted to show the progression on this sketch. At this point I finished working in the over all shapes. Now ill start to define them and pop certain point out more, or recede certain areas. Red, well thats a good one…I picked up a Papermate Ultra Fine Flair (the ALL white pens) and it had a black cap on it…whamm-o it was Red. So, I just rolled with it. Cant wait for the ZOO!

Very cool! I love the red…and yes, why not? lol. Can’t wait to see the end result!
