For the first day, a black and white silhouette is based on the tower in Japantown. 

 This simple sketch of the citywide was observed from the deYoung tower. 

 Also from the de Young tower, a multimedia pen over watercolor piece of the 

Golden Gate Bridge. 

 This cartoon like colored pencil was created in Dolores Park. 

 Finally, the Coit Tower, as observed from Washington Square Park is made from a spectrum of pen widths.

 This is what happens when I have no direction and a pen.

  A quick sketch of the statue in front of the De Young Museum.

 I wanted to use watercolors. So why not paint the watercolors themselves?

I found this ceramic in a shop on Clement.

 A Dia de Los Muertos theme mixed with inspirations from the Mission.

Nike Roshe. My first successful sketch I outlined the shoe in pen to detail the contour of 

the shoe.

 

 Bart people. I created a line from youngest to oldest using a big permanent marker.

 GGB. I used all sorts of different mediums to create this piece of work including water color, pencil, pen, and water color pencil.

 

Mission truck. This truck really encompasses the day. It was a very beat up truck but I added the color because of the missions many wall murals.

 Coit Tower. I started to use pencil strokes and values to add detail to my drawing.

Nicole

This is a simple skyline of San Francisco that depicts it's trademark look. It is only the surface of San Francisco, however. The simple lines and shapes add to the simplicity of this "postcard" look.

  This is an adaptation of the plaza in the San Francisco Art Institute. The welcome sign is intended to catch one's eye and lure him or her to discover what lies beneath the surface of the city. It signifies they there is a deeper meaning to SF.

 

 

This collage signifies the hopes and dreams of the people within San Francisco. It has many symbols and boldlines to demonstrate the contrast between the surface of the city and the many layers beneath.

 

This sketch is an adaptation of a street corner in the Mission. It mainly shows the strong Latino heritage that exists in this area, with symbols of hope, family and most 

importantly love.  

This is a sketch of the park in North Beach, after a particular experience with a stranger. His rambling left an impression of strong religious and cultural background, so this sketch demonstrates the thoughts of the people listening to him.

DeYoung tower: I used a brush pen to highlight the unique shape of this tower.
