[Saramel]

Wow, I really love the sheer quantity - and the quality is of course amazing as well. Isn't Starbucks great for sketching all sorts of people? More please!

Amazing observations man from the coffe shop you capture people so well, something i wish to obtain one day. and i dig the "hell" instead of Dell notebooks. awesome

[CONtra]

[Rhubix]

Fantastic stuff so far. You capture personality and gesture really well with the coffee shop stuff - and keep everything so clean while you do it!
The scribbly stuff is super fun, I really like the girl pulling on the sock in the middle. Such a great pose

[blindshot]

Whoa! Rad ink drawings! I can already tell I'm going to be stopping by your sketchbook often!

[BHCS]

I feel like im in Aladdin's cave, such a glorious sketchdump! Thanks for posting!

[Adam Nowak]

We've already discussed this small project in depth so you know I really enjoy looking through all the pages of daily Starbucks life, something every person in that cafe experiences at least once and then immediately forget the experience. But you've gone out and recorded these moments, of motion, emotion, the clack of a keystroke and the silent contemplation of thought. I'm always ready for more.

[Rustveld]

Wow, amazing sketchbook! You capture the emotions and thought behind a person really well. Your drawings seem like they can come alive any minute now.
Thanks for sharing!

[Neyut]

Whoa! *__* every sketch you made looks like sprayed out of your pen, I want to see more

[Damien Levs]

Incredible observation. Rally, really dig those coffee shop sketches. How long have been drawing seriously? Looking forward to seeing more from you...all the best.

[Noora]

Looking at these really makes me want to go in some cafeteria and draw a little. Really inspirational. Love your lines, all these faces seem very alive. You clearly know what you're doing...

Man I must say you a big THANK, because you just gave me that feeling I could work all night long ! Your sketches are amazing plus you truly see some improvement in one or two months, wich is awesome and motivating.

Gotta follow your thread : D

[Big Orange]

Hmmmm, very interesting: less is more.

[KONM]

Can I just say I like everything? I have to agree with Shad. Your sketches make me want to doodle all night long.

[userthiago]

really inspiring sketchbook. you capture the people so well, and with great style. keep it up, man.

[Big Orange]

And your lines are very, very clean.

[f1x]

best sketches I've seen in a while

[iamkennstan]

a seemingly quick and effective method of simple tools to capture the mood and energy of your subjects! and so much content I could stare at this for days!

[Greenhouse]

Fantastic sketches! Those lines are great!

[icedpancake]

Seriously, I envy the beautiful lines you make to illustrate a person.

Damn!, I can't go to the coffee shop just yet because I'll be drawing zombies rather than people. ahahahah

In all your wicked sick bro!

[Big Orange]

What did you use to do these effective sketches and doodles, John Zysltra? Ink or pencil? I myself often even use markers.

[sharks]

omg I'm in love with your style

[PieMonster]

Amazing stuff dude, thanks for sharing!

[Jonromero]

John your sketches are sick! im loving these upload your work from the portrait club!

[ezekrialase]

Great sketches, I love your work and am definitely going to be visiting this sketchbook again.

[T-BOY]

Obviously the outcome of sketches practice

[Icecold]

One of my new favourites from now on.
your life drawings are cool but what i literally fell in love from teh first sight are the imagination pages with big booty babes and superheros
The beatiful rythms and fluid forms, amazing.
