i made it through about an hour, but I'm a little rusty, and my hand kept falling asleep, mid-sketch.  This last one was a ten-minute pose, and I probably couldn't feel anything in my hand other than pins and needles for at least half of that span.  Oh well.  For the record, I was using a green pencil for quick structure, and the rest was done directly in ink with my Pilot Parallel Pen.  And the session was themed for "The Goon," a pretty popular comic book.

If you get the chance (and are in the Portland area), the Fest runs through tomorrow, and aside from cool panels, there's also a gazillion cartoonists with some really cool books that you might want to check out.
