Mall Sketches

My husband wanted to go Christmas shopping and wanted me to come along, but then he wanted to go to the stores alone so he could shop for me. Rather than waste my time since I was at that exact mall the other day (he didn't time this well) I decided to bring my sketchbook and headed over to the food court. Here are a few of the sketches I did of the clerks, cooks, and the customers. This ink pen bled a little more than I would have liked...especially on the faces.





I am hoping to finish the marathon sketch soon. I worked on it a lot today so stay tuned.

  3. Oh to sit and be able to sketch out people as you do! I am amazed. Did you get a little more Christmas spirit while at the mall? I always do!
