Drawing – Reverb 10 #3 -Moment

Here is yesterday’s drawing for Reverb 10 prompt #3, “Moment.”

Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors). (Author: Ali Edwards)

I had to stretch this one a bit, my “moment” was my trip to San Francisco this past April. It was a pretty big deal, as I have never been to California before, and it was the first time I went on a trip like it with a girlfriend.

I guess I didn’t really describe the “moment” as the prompt suggested, but I just drew images of the first memories that came to mind:

The trees at Muir Woods, the Golden Gate Bridge, visiting Alcatraz Prison, the sea gulls, the sea lions at Pier 39, eating at In-N-Out Burger and the San Francisco Zoo.

I broke down and bought a new set of Micron pens for inking. My least favorite part of this drawing is the plane on the “plane ticket,” but oh well.
