Another test drawing with my new sable, after a Weegee photo. This brush is starting to grow on me. (Maybe when it gets big enough, it’ll fission and I’ll have two of them. What a bargain!)

Drawn with new Escoda sable brush—first sable ever. I usually work with relatively cheap-o synthetic brushes. Jury’s still out on this one. It’s definitely a different beast than the super-springy synthetics.

Scene from Tati’s PLAY TIME (saleswoman demonstrates eyeglasses whose lenses tilt away to allow mascara application). Brushpen and colored pencil in sketchbook.
(Originally I drew just the ladies, but figured it wouldn’t be PLAY TIME without overkill, so added in the view through the window. The time spent drawing this thing really hammered home for me how carefully Tati made his compositions – the arrangement of the ladies, the guy just visible past the fabric wall, etc. And of course I’ve screwed it up a little in my rendering.)
