AWESOME.

Dude putting sugar in his cwoffee is my fave. Wish my observational drawings turned out so nice

Januel Mercado said...

Beautiful, fucking beautiful. I especially LOVE the last one of the two ladies. What kind of brush pen is that? I must know!

Ryan Green said...

You do a really good job at combining thin pen and fat marker. I usually overwork my drawings when I try that.

Justin Rodrigues said...

These are brilliant. Love the girl with the bow in her hair.

Anonymous said...

These are undeniably brilliant...thanks for sharing! My favourite is the gentleman in the stripped sweater.

Jez Tuya said...

These are awesome, Megan! What sort of pen did you use to draw these?

What everybody else said, and I'll add:You're quite the shoe artist, aren't you?

Januel--Thanks so much!! I used the Pentel Pocket Brush pen.

Davin--thanks!! Saw your pics from the last sketch crawl and wish I could have made it. See you at the next one for sure!

Jesse Soto said...

These are some strong cafe drawings! I like the quiet, early morning mood of the second drawing where the striped shirt costumer is adding sugar. It looks simple, but very nice touch.

Are you using a special ink marker to get those grainy ink effects?
