I made this drawing at a special sketch night at the Society of Illustrators last Thursday. The models were clothed in garments by designer Raul Peñaranda. You can see the rest of my drawings here on my blog. ©2015 Greg Betza
View post →Last week I spent a few days in Burbank, or Studio City, or Toluca Lake—I really don’t know where I was. This was my forth visit to greater Los Angeles—3 of which were under 4 days, one of which might have been under 4 hours—and each time I find myself rushing around trying to get […]

View post →I recently went to draw at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Very beautiful area with rich history, beautiful structures and some of the best people watching. I saw a ridiculously long line for the “Sex and the City” Tour Bus. Very funny. Maybe I’ll post the drawing of that another day. This time, I’ll share […]

Every time I visit LA I realize how much the West Coast lifestyle permeated the culture in TV in and movies during my youth. Seems like an obvious conclusion to come to, but the things that jump out when you spend even a little bit of time there are those things that set California apart […]
View post →When visiting Amsterdam for the first time last August with my husband Neil, I thought that looking for windmills would be asking too much. And yet, there is was! The fact that it was pouring rain at the time did not deter my excitement at making this drawing of what, to me, is a quintessential […]
View post →A drawing of Kika at the Dalvero Academy! Always amazing to draw! A beautiful bouquet of colorful flowers to draw. Also added a little bit of thread. Margaret Hurst
View post →I finally made it to a sketch night at the Society of Illustrators. Here is a drawing I made of the model who was acting out the role of Katniss Everdeen of the Hunger Games. See more of this series here on my blog.

View post →Yesterday was the first of the year and we wanted to do something special with the kids to honor the day. So we took them to see the Holiday Train Show at the NYBG. It was as beautiful as ever and the kids were amazed when they saw “Thomas” whizzing by on the railroad […]
View post →Yes, I am totally cheating. No, time travel does not yet exist, so I am told. Einstein. What did he know? As I ended one of the longest years I can ever remember, I took stock of all that I had done and all that had been bestowed upon me. It was not a year […]
View post →I always love to try as many mixed media combinations that I can think of when I’m drawing from a model. Here is an ink, acrylic paint and crayon drawing. –Despina
View post →I used to have a habit of being too early for appointments…so I would just make drawings from my car to pass the time. Here is one from 2003, NYC.
View post →I just loved Dom’s post yesterday. Yet I have to share … At the moment I’m kinda feeling the crunch. Anthropologie just sent out a blast titled “5 more sleeps till Christmas!” Really, did you have to? So I’m taking a break (as brief as it is) to post a drawing (and it’s thumbnail) […]
View post →There will never be enough time in the day. This is never more apparent than during the holiday season. I wish the days could just slow down to a crawl. I love everything about the lead up, and everything about the time after. Forget the day itself, that could last forever. So as I ponder […]
View post →Going through some sketch books and came across a drawing of pigeons in Venice, Italy. There really were a lot of pigeons/doves. Honest. It was crazy! I loved it! Margaret Hurst
View post →I found this spread in my sketchbook and thought it was interesting how on one page I decided to cover all traces of hair by drawing these fully “capped” men, and then on the next page I’m practically combing these guys with my pencil. Who knows what goes through your mind when your drawing! […]
View post →And the band plays on! … As the festivities begin for the holiday fare thought it’d be nice to share a drawing done on New Year’s day on Main Street USA in Disney. Have a magical, stress free weekend. – Michele
