I had seen illustrations that you can pan around before and I wanted to figure out a way to do one on site, rather than make it in my studio from photo references. I will start by saying that panoramic urban sketches done on location are nothing new. The brilliant <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/gerard_michel/albums/72157608539473139"><span style="font-family: inherit;">G<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">é</span>rard Michel</span></a> and <a href="http://www.arnohartmann.de/sonstiges-zeichnungen.html" target="_blank">Arno Hartmann</a> have been doing them for some time, and Arno had already been taking his analog images done on site and turning them into scrollable panos with computer software years before I set out to try this. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Most of the time when I draw in curved perspective I draw "intuitively," meaning I don't set up any vanishing points or use any rulers or grids. In researching this process I knew that to do a 360 degree drawing accurately I would need an equirectangular grid with 2:1 proportions. I found one, along with a ton of other very useful information, on <a href="https://dmswart.com/2016/06/28/drawing-a-panorama/" target="_blank">DM Swart's website</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I loaded his 3600 x 1800 pixel grid into a Procreate file, created a new layer on top of it, and started sketching my living room, from life, on that layer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxUc751AjoOrLWXha3h3rqDTmq515pTeFZfcvzYxtO185zBB5t3Iy3VtIXdIbRT17BB6TZszNeybN-Z_jDzzgpHdzLnce82cRX1pzxQxCaLZfu5bewWmJ6H4m0qR2DUVn3lfzDGS0JubkS/s2048/IMG_2620.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxUc751AjoOrLWXha3h3rqDTmq515pTeFZfcvzYxtO185zBB5t3Iy3VtIXdIbRT17BB6TZszNeybN-Z_jDzzgpHdzLnce82cRX1pzxQxCaLZfu5bewWmJ6H4m0qR2DUVn3lfzDGS0JubkS/w640-h480/IMG_2620.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie4cgujvT4eWWPPOpQXPnV1cTPAn1R_NV3g9enyHk_THWI0TR6StxQ33ReAthXKaENoXf0f-z8k1pQxH5Qw2Gg5TN9EuPTXQ0OsfhcBm_HOXDFIw0ksNDIFUDxVxs2eMHpdEbjnaa63DHr/s2508/D0DC0CAD-3C4D-49C6-A6EA-94845361E1F0.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="2508" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie4cgujvT4eWWPPOpQXPnV1cTPAn1R_NV3g9enyHk_THWI0TR6StxQ33ReAthXKaENoXf0f-z8k1pQxH5Qw2Gg5TN9EuPTXQ0OsfhcBm_HOXDFIw0ksNDIFUDxVxs2eMHpdEbjnaa63DHr/w400-h200/D0DC0CAD-3C4D-49C6-A6EA-94845361E1F0.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcezEn8LVDGs2y2GZcdtuHOF3hrg2WuRXppv0rqcL0jmrVoS59lp_Y1BUuVmmf8sRJVPdMggS7Mpm7q-58DvTLiB7OfAQs-95PK_4iAIl-XAqDvBk8h3xWNJ6cHCPnQAkUZIPGpzOpBVCV/s2508/30EFEF3B-F458-4B11-9ECB-26B0C6A35EF7.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="2508" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcezEn8LVDGs2y2GZcdtuHOF3hrg2WuRXppv0rqcL0jmrVoS59lp_Y1BUuVmmf8sRJVPdMggS7Mpm7q-58DvTLiB7OfAQs-95PK_4iAIl-XAqDvBk8h3xWNJ6cHCPnQAkUZIPGpzOpBVCV/w400-h200/30EFEF3B-F458-4B11-9ECB-26B0C6A35EF7.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGuNt3UkbuggPmatxYCwUrGQk3NeIOnRpoDlds-uvJejhyphenhyphen2trRRzBYEWYefM_iBpqK8vanXqdv9gibMlSNA_sisrklw5EK_7_3NIcWbduIv3cuFelE_mAnVsBF76tfllRFI00bW7AYPvy5/s2508/D10451C5-EB9F-4364-B668-83F91FC4B26C.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="2508" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGuNt3UkbuggPmatxYCwUrGQk3NeIOnRpoDlds-uvJejhyphenhyphen2trRRzBYEWYefM_iBpqK8vanXqdv9gibMlSNA_sisrklw5EK_7_3NIcWbduIv3cuFelE_mAnVsBF76tfllRFI00bW7AYPvy5/w400-h200/D10451C5-EB9F-4364-B668-83F91FC4B26C.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The goal was to have a drawing that looks like a spherical panoramic photo. Only because the drawing is just a flat image, I needed to edit the the metadata or EXIF information associated with the raster file so that Facebook and other sites that support interactive 360 images would recognize it as a photo taken by a 360 camera. I used the free EXIF editor site <a href="https://www.thexifer.net/">https://www.thexifer.net/</a> to do this. This part was surprisingly easy. I uploaded my jpg file (minus the grid) onto the site, hit "edit," and added "Ricoh" and "Ricoh Theta S" (a 360 camera) to the make and model fields in the EXIF editor. Then I exported the image and did a test upload to Facebook and it worked!

Since then I've also done two more in the Procreate app on my iPad and one pen and ink drawing on a grid I printed out. The trickiest part is probably reconciling what you are seeing and sketching with the equirectangular grid. It takes some practice, and fortunately I'd done lots of exploring with curved perspective for years so I was better prepared for the challenge. The drawings themselves also just take a long time because you are drawing literally everything around you in all directions, instead of cropping to a relatively small field of view as in most sketches. The process took a lot of trial and error, but it went smoother than I anticipated.

That's it. I go out on location and sketch what I see. Or I stay home and sketch what I see. The "what I see" part is what's important to me. And that brings with it all sorts of other ideas to explore. Because what do we see, really? </p><p>My style of sketching is a mixture of a few different approaches to observational art-making. There's the still-life/in-studio tradition where the artist narrows their focus on just a small portion of their field of view. There's plein-air landscape painting, where often the goal is to widen the field of view as much as possible and take in sweeping vistas. There's architectural and perspective drawing, where the challenge is to effectively depict human-made spaces with their corresponding geometry in a convincing way. And there's figurative art, where capturing the human form in one way or another is the goal. You can find examples of each of these interests in my sketches.</p><p>Not long after I started sketching I realized I was having trouble with drawing space. It was hard to wrap my head around. I'm the kind of artist who is drawn to a problem like this. What was I missing? I learned the basics of linear perspective drawing in school, and I was more or less proficient. But applying those ideas to a live observational sketch made my drawing feel rigid and clinical. The sketch just didn't feel alive. So I started sketching as much space as I could. Interiors, exteriors, urban areas, landscapes. I found myself "zooming out" and trying to include as much space as possible in the composition. </p><p>In 2008 I started a project wherein I would draw all the buildings on Main Street in Bozeman, Montana from across the street, starting on one block and working my way down, then crossing the street and doing the other side.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_l_9X-ZaP2k151g8nTiKoI7CtJpuUli06s4O9XIb5Kp8ewmEbZkwaxVLk56VplIG7-KSXczZtx0kFHwnCjNX_yA9nIzK6CTFO_dn1ZA43pSGHjLf2ygSTgLZNVRMZJ5ONYMFvE7obAwMq/s3086/spread+01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1019" data-original-width="3086" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_l_9X-ZaP2k151g8nTiKoI7CtJpuUli06s4O9XIb5Kp8ewmEbZkwaxVLk56VplIG7-KSXczZtx0kFHwnCjNX_yA9nIzK6CTFO_dn1ZA43pSGHjLf2ygSTgLZNVRMZJ5ONYMFvE7obAwMq/w640-h212/spread+01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I went along though, the idea of making the top and bottom edges of these buildings horizontal wasn't making much sense, especially when I had to zoom out to capture a taller building. I could tell as I looked down the street that as the buildings got further away from the center of my field of view they got smaller. Which meant the street wall was "tapering" in either direction. Horizontal lines didn't cut it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ2dubY-6QlDYp7ZqjqXFnAvdK8e5a_ULMIgttsCoLzomfWVebYoxzhjdGDB2TYUFFf-EcZ8edU-4Jch9N-0RAi2Pnnt7fnVnKbgLX3VGTlmM8cAWXo5qF3Pg477hR8RkItaL_lQCuPbzH/s3086/spread+02+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1019" data-original-width="3086" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ2dubY-6QlDYp7ZqjqXFnAvdK8e5a_ULMIgttsCoLzomfWVebYoxzhjdGDB2TYUFFf-EcZ8edU-4Jch9N-0RAi2Pnnt7fnVnKbgLX3VGTlmM8cAWXo5qF3Pg477hR8RkItaL_lQCuPbzH/w640-h212/spread+02+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I was familiar with panoramic photos and the way space seemed to bend and curve in them, so I thought I'd try that with my drawings to see if it made them feel a little more dynamic and to showcase the diminishing scale as the buildings receded from the center of my field of view.

Not just along the horizontal axis, but along the vertical, too. And I found it worked for interior sketches as well as exterior. I came to realize that as I widened my field of view, things that were normally cropped out would have to be visible, like my hands and sketchbook. My sketches began to look as if the viewer was in my head, looking at my world through my eyes.

The answer to that question requires us to think about how we see anything. Think about how you gather information about your surroundings. Your eyes dart around a given environment thousands of times, focusing on numerous different points and assembling all the information in your brain into a "picture" of your location. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wonder, have we trained our brain to assemble all that stuff a certain way because of certain things we learned early on? We are told lines are straight mathematically, but are they visually? I think I see the curves, but in the end it seems impossible to prove. Ultimately, I like playing with curving space in my drawings because I think your brain can assemble all that visual information any way you choose.

The truth is I had slowed down quite a bit, because social media was already starting to take the place of my blog as a way to showcase my work and to connect with the community. So why am I back? I finally realized it's nice to have an honest-to-goodness URL to point people to that exists outside of an app but can still be updated regularly. </p><p>So here we are. What to post about? Well, my first thought is maybe I should catch you all up on what I did in the past 6 years. There's far too much to really post here, so I'll break it down into some highlights by year. Then hopefully I can start posting about what I'm doing right now.</p><p>So I guess I better start with 2015.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2015 highlights</span> </p><p>So what happened in 2015?

Now I've got to top all that in 2015.Paul Heastonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13361025829815286466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725769409357909275.post-75002149767296849592014-09-15T00:41:00.002-06:002014-09-15T00:41:31.598-06:00BrazilI recently traveled to Brazil with my wife Linda to teach a workshop at the 2014 Urban Sketchers Symposium in Paraty. I don't know if I can effectively communicate just how important and meaningful this trip was to me in so many ways. For the first time, I got to meet so many of the Urban Sketchers whose work I've know for years and years. I got a chance to sketch with people who shared the same passion and enthusiasm that I have for sketching. Linda also started sketching, and is now becoming as passionate as I am about it. I've taken away too many amazing things from that trip, and it will probably take a little reflection to fully appreciate the experience.<br />
<br />
There are far too many images I could share from the trip to post. For the full visual experience, including photos, go to my <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/paul_heaston/sets/72157647160786026/">Flickr page</a> and my wife <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindamade/sets/72157646758852738/">Linda's</a>.<br />
<br />
I will post my sketches, in chronological order, from our trip to Rio, then Paraty, then back to Rio. Clicking them will take you to their Flickr page and a little more information.<br />

He chopped off his signature dreads last year, so he's given those of us fortunate enough to draw him a different look this year.<br />

A half year of figure studies, part 1Well, it's been half a year since the last post. Seems like a good time for an update (or several).<br />
I've done some figure sketching, some Moleskinnin', and some messing around, so I suppose I should post evidence of these things. On with it:<br />
<br />
Let's start with some figure stuff from late last year.<br />
<br />
Ryann, probably the best figure model I think I've ever drawn, now sadly retired. Ryann has a repertoire of super dynamic poses and can also coax something interesting from a subtle, relaxed pose as well.<br />

Well, the Pearl Brewery in San Antonio at least. Funnily enough, I seem to sketch it every two years.<br />
<br />
The big windowless building to the left has since been demolished, though that can't be seen in the second sketch.<br />

This last one I did while visiting SA for the holidays. The plan is to turn the brewery into a hotel, and it seems as though it's well under way.

This is long overdue, but I went to New York a few weeks ago, and finally got to meet the amazing <a href="http://www.wagonized.typepad.com/">France Belleville-Van Stone</a> and sketched with her on New York's High Line for an entire morning. One of the great highlights of my life. I did a few other sketches while I was there, including quite a few whilst stuck at La Guardia in airport hell for eight hours. None is as good as the first sketch from the High Line with France, at least to me.<br />
<br />
Here they are.<br />

Just a brief pencil sketch with only a little bit of detail. I didn't think I'd finish it, but I must have gotten a second wind last week, and followed it through.<br />

Because I'm less-than-diligent at scaling my drawings to match the skeletal closely, I'm not satisfied with the proportions, especially the length of the torso, legs and neck, and the size of the head. I'll get it right one of these days.Paul Heastonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13361025829815286466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725769409357909275.post-29993938612512410812013-06-29T21:48:00.001-06:002013-07-01T21:56:56.592-06:00A quiet night at Barnes and NobleOur swamp cooler is busted. For those who aren't familiar, a swamp cooler is a common energy-efficient alternative to a/c in dry areas like Colorado that don't experience heat extremes like Texas or Arizona. For two a/c-dependent Texans (Linda and me), it's a pretty weak alternative. Only now it doesn't even work, leaving us to appreciate the little it did do once upon a time. So, we got out of the house Thursday night to find some climate-controlled digs and ended up at the Barnes and Noble about an hour before closing. This is the sketch I did while Linda looked for art magazines.<br />

And whaddya know, there was this view.<br />

At 1pm on Saturday I'll be doing a <a href="http://www.meininger.com/our-events/">Sketchbook show & tell </a>at Meininger Art Supplies with Michael Kalman from <a href="http://www.stillmanandbirn.com/index.html">Stillman & Birn</a>. I'll be showing a lot of the work I've been doing in my Stillman & Birns these past few months, so if you're in the area you should come and check it out! In case you haven't noticed, I think these are great sketchbooks- easily the nicest I've ever worked in. I've even tried out some new materials. Here's a few of the sketches I'll be showing. <br />
