A new drawing. [View all]

I've been going out with my little sketchbook most mornings this summer and drawing for twenty minutes or so before work. But a few weekends ago I decided to set up my easel on this little-traveled side street with some larger, better paper and take more care with a drawing. I worked on this over a couple of mornings and finished it up today.

I'm happy with this one! I think the sketching practice is paying off.
