Sketches from Break!

Sooo, after a grueling week of deadlines and no sleep, I finally had the chance to release some steam. Last weekend I went to San Francisco for the first time after about 10 years? I don't even remember.  It is quite a charming city, and although I didn't get as much drawing done as I wanted to, it was a very relaxing well spent trip.

As I am home right now in SD, I also got to visit my home beach Torrey Pines, and sketch a little by myself with the waves as my sound track.  It was quite a wonderfully meditative and calming experience :)
