Just finished my first moleskin and the majority of it is actually filled with location sketching. I'm going to be posting a few select pages here and there. The top page is the earliest of these three. Probably done a month or two ago. The middle page was probably done about a week ago. This last page was done a few days ago. Just wanted to show some of the other crap that comes out of my head.
I never put too much stock in location sketching but now that i have been doing a lot of it i have realized how much it helps. I'm a lot faster and more confident with my lines. It also helps tremendously in building up your visual vocabulary. I guess everyone was right after all. Let me know what you think!

awesome stuff man!!
Dude congrats on finishing up the sketchbook! Is this one a pocket version of the bigger one?? Man I can't seem to finish a book off. I'm always jumping back and forth to different papers. Really love all different variety's of work and mediums used. Very inspirational work Justin. I need to go and get out and do more observational studies. Look forward to your next completed sketchbook.
Very good, i'm trying to do 2 sketches a week, but it's hard to find time. I like your lines very much.(Sorry for my English).
Nice blast from the past with 1987 pre-sellout TMNT!!

Looking good Justin! I need to start doing location sketches and just draw. I've been just doing memory sketches bah! lol
