So in order to make sure Im ready, I have been sketching every chance I get. Im trying to get my hand and eye tuned to the same key. The practice is a lot of fun. I really enjoy sketching especially the more I do it because I notice my improvements. Sometimes Ill see something randomly and say to myself, "I want to draw that", and normally when I do, those are the sketches that come out looking good. Its also just an urge I have to satisfy sometimes. If I haven't put ink to paper in a while I'll have to make it a point to go sketch something.
Here is a list of some of my sketches over the last few weeks. Some were drawn on site, some from photographs, and some I made up.
If anyone has any techniques, suggestions or critics they would like to share please let me know. I normally use ink when sketching, and sometimes pencil, but I would like to experiment with some other media. Thanks.

I lovwe that sun trust building. It sticks out down there by FC. I think they are tearing it down. Nice sketches
Thanks. I like the beams that stick out at the top of the bank, and I think there are some nice clerestory windows up there too. I was at Borders one day, and had to kill some time so I sat there in front of Panera.
Your sketches are looking really good. I will suggest charcoal pencils. You will need to cover the sketches with newsprint so the rest of your sketch book does not get dirty. You can add some color details with color pencils.
PS. I may need to pay you to do my trip sketches...
Thanks Arqui, I think I will bring some charcoal pencils. And I sure could use the extra money, so.....
