To finish off the 4th of July weekend I drew a self portrait. For some reason I enlarged the collar of my shirt so I have a bit of a shrunken head look going. Oh, well. 
Can you tell the difference?
For some reason I was in a drawing mood on Tuesday, I'm not sure why, maybe the great weather. After the bike drawing I started drawing the buildings on Smith Street and while I was drawing I was telling Travis how I seem to have trouble getting my city street drawings to look right and how I end up becoming really frustrated and give up before I finish the drawing. Well maybe it was because I was warmed up or maybe it was the fact that I was talking and and not thinking too much about the drawing but it actually started to look pretty good. I actually wish I had kept going with the sketch but we decided to ge inside for a drink instead. 
After finishing the Ice Cream Truck drawing, I headed back to Brooklyn to meet up with Travis and Gabe. It was so nice outside we ended up spending the better part of two hours sitting on a bench outside of The Boat. In addition to some people watching (they just keep on coming!) I made this sketch of a bicycle that was locked to a nearby parking meter.
On Tuesday we were let out of work early so I rode my bike around town a bit, stopping for an hour or so to make a drawing.
