Sketching in colorful pens

While it was not a great day in the US financial markets, I enjoyed a great day in the studio.
I experimented with the idea of creating my sketchbook canvases without the grid that I was outlining to mimic an old fashion notepad or a sketchbook.

I left a lot of white space around the images.
I thought that it works better to intensify the power of the simple lines.
I will post some photos tomorrow and elaborate a bit more about it.

News reports described it as a once in 30 years storm to hit
