More People...

At last taking some time to post more people sketched out and about!

The elegant Trio Los Brilliantes performing at a local Swap Meet...

Lunch at the Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles...

A restless morning crowd at a nearby cafe...

Lunch in Burbank with two big groups on a Friday sitting back to back, one from Disney, the other from Dreamworks...and at the Huntington--tourists and a plant sale...

People Observed

... recently in a hospital waiting room...sketching gets me through a long day...

Another visit to The Drawing Club

...and the theme is "Botticelli", but perhaps our model, Russia, is more of a Pre-Raphaelite?  No matter, a lovely and graceful model all the same...

People Observed

 ...a large hospital cafeteria, having coffee at Peet's, working at the carwash, or lunch at the well-known downtown landmark, Philippe's...

Back at The Drawing Club...

Some recent drawings...
Rooster Cogburn from "True Grit",

Many themes inspired by films...after all, Hollywood is just around the corner! 1970's "Blaxploitation" theme, and Malo as "Lara Croft, Tomb Raider"...

More from The Drawing Club

So many fascinating characters and themes over the years at The Drawing Club...some of the more unusual ones...a comic safari, a Halloween zombie, Daniella as the Wicked Witch, and a carwash employee...
