I would like to share with you some sketches I did this morning. The beach is not far from my house and we enjoy going there as often as we can. We were out early to try and beat the crowds and found a lot going on. I didn't bring an eraser with me in order to force myself to draw and avoid trying to get the drawing just right. I often end up spending more time erasing than drawing! I wanted to capture a moment and challenge myself with a moving subject. I have difficulty with people moving, which they do especially when caught up in activities like fishing or enjoying a family day at the beach. There was a fishing contest and I tried to capture the fisherman in action. This family came out for a playdate. If you get far away enough you don't bother them, obviosly people don't always take so well to being subjects of someone drawing them.
