People...

It starts to feel like summer here in May with an annual visit to the Southern California Renaissance Faire...it's always fun to draw people at serious play, in costume...


...but most of the time I like to draw people doing ordinary things...
Working...at a car wash in Pasadena, and a film
crew wrapping up on Sunset Blvd....

Shopping...at the Saugus Swap Meet
with a train rumbling by...








...or at the wonderful India Sweets and Spices...

...at the little Farmer's Market at Sunset Triangle on Sunset Blvd...


Families and friends eating out...a family on Father's Day...
the Saturday morning crowd at the bakery in La Canada,
and a group lunch at Gordon Biersch...




 ...and at the Getty Center

Quick-sketching people...

I have a huge respect for fashion illustrators who can sketch a semblance of what they see as the model struts a runway!  I made an attempt at the Otis Student Fashion Show in May, as models moved around on stage.  The students work with industry mentors, and present their work as groupings--fabulous work!  I tried to catch at least a silhouette or 2...here are a few...


















More quick sketching, this time at the Southern California Renaissance Faire...
fun to draw people in and out of costume and character!





 Sketching people out and about...having breakfast in La Canada, a family enjoying Descanso Gardens, and visitors to the Santa Monica Pier...
