CFB Halifax Curling Club. I arrived a bit early for my game so I did a quick sketch from my car. Finally got around to using an actual paintbrush and lots of water, rather than a waterbrush, much easier to work with 👍 (71/100) #drawing #sketch #sketching #sketchbook

A couple of sketches of machines and technology... a T-45 power armour helmet from "Fallout" and a F2A Buffalo from WW2. The Buffalo looks like it probably flew like its namesake 😆 (6,7/010) #drawing #sketch #lineart #penandink #fallout #t45 #powerarmor #scifi #brewsterbuffalo
