I recently did some drawing with d.Price in downtown Portland. Sitting on the cold hard concrete sidewalk I sketched this fairly ornate building. I colored in on the computer. You can see the original drawing below.

I've always felt I have so much to learn in terms of values using just black ink and cross-hatching I rarely venture out and use color. This trailer didn't have much in the way of color so I thought it would be an easier place to start. I've been keeping up with d.Price's computer colored Moonlight Chronicle pages and thought it would be fun to try.

Here's the original trailer.

Saw this sad, smashed, hardly used pack of cigarettes laying in a recently harvested wheat field. As Joan Y pointed out, there is likely a story behind this. Given the abundance of beer cans and vodka bottles in the vicinity, I'm guessing someone was so drunk they didn't even realized these were missing until they got home.

I'm not sure what's worse, having lost a nearly full pack of cigarettes or actually considering them an interesting subject for a drawing.
