Sketchbook - Leah Adezio

Color is something you don't see much in sketches. Mostly the artists are working with minimal materials, and many of them just want to churn out something quickly that looks neat. I'm happy with that, as I'm a big fan of simple line drawing. But a couple of my sketches incorporate color into them, and that makes them even more interesting in other ways.

This sketch was a no-brainer to get, as it was drawn by my roommate at San Diego 2000, the irrepressible Leah Adezio. I did not expect to room with someone who had so much energy! I got tired just looking at her sometimes. This was my last sketch of the third night, Saturday night, and I think it's the only sketch that wasn't done at the con itself. At that con Leah also showed me some more of her artwork, and I was blown away. I hope that someday her stuff will see print so you can judge for yourself how great an artist she is. It's a crying shame that Ari of Lemuria isn't on issue #15 with two collections selling in bookstores.

To see all the sketches I have permission to post so far, check out my Sketchbook Page. If you have any contact information for any of the other artists I'm trying to contact, please e-mail me.
