Daily Sketch Reprise: Of Intense Interest, 2013

I’ve no idea what had them transfixed but some little creature was below window level in the lilac. Mr. Sunshine and Giuseppe were trying to be observant and unseen at the same time, which had them motionless in odd compressed crouches long enough for me to sketch them, then add other details.

I enjoy sketching so much with my fancy hybrid technical pen that I like to let the tip skate over the paper now and then, and it makes cool little lines and shapes. I’m kind of wanting to add some watercolor washes, but it’s just a passing thought.
