Here’s  few recent pages from my sketchbook, trying out some different ideas.

I’ve been thinking about graphic representations of shading and form a lot. I like the opacity and implied depth of metallic markers of course and am still playing around with found objects like the Asian eyes from a beer label vs. the orchid vs. the artificial “found surface” of the different kinds of white markers. There’s a lot of different white markers. Sadly the pics here don’t do justice to the varied textures. Anyhow, I’ve been getting into trying out lots of different materials lately and the wee sketchbook is being a total champ for not falling apart under the abuse…

If you’re similarly inclined, you can always get a Moleskine Sketchbook for yourself.
