Inktober Day 27 - Around Tudor City Part 2

My Day 27 Inktober Sketch or sketches were done on the Long Island Railroad going into the city. Usually I don't sketch on the LIRR in ink because the vibration of the train is too jerky, but I figured for Inktober I would give it a go. These two people were sitting in the same row but came on the train at different stops and didn't know each other.

Once the Halloween Doggie Parade was over (see yesterday's post), we met in the park and had lunch and talked a bit. Then I went out of the park and back on the street. We were a bit elevated on Tudor City Lane which gave us a great view of the Chrysler Building. I could only fit a small part of it on my paper.

I finished the above sketch and had about 30 minutes before we were meeting for our "show and tell." I ended up doing a quick watercolor sketch of the view out of one side of the park. Using just a few pencil lines for placement I did most of the sketch directly in watercolors. I finished just in time.

Inktober Day 26 - Around Tudor City Part I

The NYC Urban Sketchers met around the area of Tudor City which is the area near 42nd Street and 2nd Ave. There is a view of the UN Building in one direction and the Chrysler Building in the other. When we got there we found out that Tudor City Greens, the local park, was having a Halloween Doggie Parade. There was a big crowd of dogs (many in costume) as well as humans (some in costume) but the volume of animals and people made it very hard to sketch since the animals were so active and the people were blocking the views. I did manage to sketch a few dogs including the Rambo dog and a chihuahua dressed as a shark. This is my Inktober Day 26 sketch.

One of my sketches for the day was of the view looking down Tudor City Lane toward 43rd Street. In order to see this view I sat between two cars right by the back right bumper of one of them. Luckily most cars in NYC stay put if they have a good parking space. lol
