Sketch while you wait

jobSharpee pen

Maybe if I do enough of this quick sketching of people I can get a job in a courtroom?  JK!  I don’t know about that, but it sure helps the spirits when you’re on the go in the summertime with no time for paints and palettes.  I was waiting for Andy in the car while he was waiting outside the fair office for an interview.  Another perfect set-up – like the DMV – for figure sketching.  Three 16 something boys, wearing the collared shirts they never ever wear (here in no. Calif at any rate) except for job interviewing because their fathers told them they had to.  Not saying a word to each other.  Texting of course, or waiting for the response.  Moving enough to be a challenge to draw, but hey!  it just takes more lines, that’s all.  And me, unnoticed in a comfortable, shady spot in the car.  Can’t beat that!

    Hey, you might have a future as a courtroom artist yet! It is fun how you can really get into the flow of this type of drawing.
