Broadway Bull

 On Sunday the NYC Urban Sketchers met in downtown Manhattan to sketch near the charging bull statue located on Broadway in the Financial District. Our goal was to sketch people and this was a good place. It is always a fun location because so many tourists come there to snap their photos with the bull in assorted different silly poses. The bull's rear is a popular spot because for some reason people love to pose while touching the bull's genitals. (I'm putting it nicely. lol) People also like to climb up and sit on its head. I expect to see someone get gored by the horns.

I started sketching from the top step of a restaurant called Cipriani. Of course a while later someone came along and told us that we had to get off the steps...the steps were "private property." The restaurant was hosting some kind of event/show and they were expecting a lineup of guests. So we moved and since I sketch quite quickly I had the bull and the people already sketched and was able to finish it from another spot.
