Susan: I did in fact draw some radiating guidelines in pencil to assist with the street scene. I have studied architecture so perspective may be in my blood! I did the sketch from an (indoor - warm!) walkway at the convention center which connects two buildings above the street. Laura: Your Seattle sketches are wonderful!

What's your secret? Do you draw with pencil first? Do you do that squinting and holding your pen up and capturing the angles thing? You always seem to get the perspective right on these city scenes!

My favorite is the last...the street scene. It's so personal and cheery even though it's big buildings. I love the story about the eraser too. I hated those things--they always tore holes in the paper. Undo is so much better! These are delightful. My favorite is the last…the street scene.
