Study - Pen & Wash on Arches Cold Pressed - 18cm x 26cm; 7" x 10"

My previous photo of this was taken at night indoors, so the color was too warm.  This photo was taken in daylight outdoors and is much more accurate color wise.

Today's Sketches: First four were done from life; last one from a photo. Pencil, black ballpoint, and/or brush pen/s on paper.

The figures don't stay in one position or place very long, had to be very quick.  Sometimes they just get up and walk away before you've had any time drawing them at all.
