I spotted this guy at the Farmer’s Market on Sunday and had to sketch him. There was so much more there that I didn’t capture. He was like a living cartoon. Perhaps a relative of Einstein. His face seemed to be frozen into an expression brought about by years and years of newspaper reading. It did seem like a nice routine, though. A relaxing sunny afternoon in the open air, with a newspaper and a glass of wine. Not bad.
I sketched him with mechanical pencil on Sunday and went back over it with a couple brush pens late on Monday, adding the background in from memory.
Hey, great sketch, and wonderful personality in his expression. I Look forward to more.
Thanks, Kyle. And hey, you should link to your blog when you comment. You’ve got some great stuff up there, too. Anyone interested, can go to kylemarshall.blogspot.com.
Great spontaneous sketch at the Farmer’s Market. He’s definitely quite the character.
