Sat at the cool cafe at the new age store and drew and drank citus SoBe. The staff and friends jammed on instruments in the corner. Love this atmosphere. [Edited to add the scanned version. 12:50am]

Today I went and did my favorite thing, went to Borders and sat in the cafe and had a White Chocolate Mocha and drew in my sketchbook. I usually draw in my moleskine, but I like to try different papers so this time I drew in my Meade Academie sketchbook. What I did was sneak camera-phone photos of people shopping in the store and then drew my sketch from the photo. Then they are "standing still" for me and I can zoom in, etc. I like doing it that way. I only got one sketch done there today. EDITED TO ADD: The reason there is not bottom of the man is because there was a chair between he and I.

I recently mentioned the mini colored pencils from Barnes and Noble that come in a little CD case. Last night I did a test with both of the cd-case-sized ones and decided they are the same. I did a test in the Mead Academie Sketchbook that I got, and also, of course, my Moleskine. Here is a scan of the test…
… "small" being the ones on the right, and "larger" being the ones on the left in this picture-
ALSO, while I was not able to find these cd-case-sized items online, I did find that BN does have some of it’s art supplies online here.

Drew this before bed last night in the Meade sketchbook I am trying out-
I decided to do EDM #5, Draw Your Bed. I wanted to sit ON my bed, so this is my view from ON the bed. That’s not the headboard, that’s a sideboard that goes only partially down the sides (it’s a trundle bed opened up). The Pug decided to sit in and so he got in the picture. I really have a hard time drawing people/animals from life. I prefer drawing animals from photos.
EDITED TO ADD: This is the first drawing in a long time that was not drawn in my moleskine. I bought a Mead Academie sketchbook to try. It’s not as portable as my Moleskine, but I just wanted to try some different paper.
EDITED TO ADD: What I saw while drawing last night…
