View post →A really quick drawing of a man on the subway. Decided not to take a manspreading picture and make a drawing instead! Always fun to make a drawing!!! Margaret Hurst

View post →I love drawing musician, especially jazz musicians. They get so lost in their music, the same way I get lost in the drawing. It’s a totally simpatico experience! Posted by Veronica
View post →Back in 2004 I was and so is this drawing! I had a period where I just drew everything. This is a drawing of Union Square in New York City. Not sure I would make this drawing the same way today, but it is fun to look back at. #NYC #reportage Greg Betza ©2015
View post →With obligations at home I haven’t found myself on the subway much since the New Year. This past Tuesday (some of you might recall) it was ridiculously frigid in the city and everyone was bundled up to the gild. I sat across this woman who must’ve had 40 layers on. It was a quirky sight…all […]
View post →Oddly enough, the one thing I dreaded about making the cross country trip in January was the possibility of missing a snow storm. I am one of the vocal few who love winter, love the snow, love the cold. Yes, I said love. Don’t curse me out. I don’t do the Calvin snow dance—at least […]
View post →This is a drawing of the actual space shuttle Discovery. The shuttle is housed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. I’ve never been much into air & space, but when you’re in the presence of a shuttle, a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, a Concorde, and the Enola […]
View post →Q: My teacher and mentor once said “if you can’t get it down in 30 seconds (or less) what’s it worth?” -Â From the very first line that begins a drawing you know deep down if it’s going to work or not. A line can speak volumes … from one to the next, from hand […]

View post →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 →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 […]

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 →Last weekend I had the incredible opportunity to draw at the studio with Veronica and Margaret during a Dalvero workshop. It had been 2 years since the demand of “mommy duties” to two tiny tots came in-between me and the figure. To connect with my source in the way I was trained, in the way I know how […]
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
