Slightly askew

Okay, so I took my sketchbook along with me the other day when I had to take the kids to the orthodontist. I thought surely there would be someone in there engrossed in a magazine article whom I could sketch. But no, there was only one other person in the room, and he was on his cell phone, speaking Hindi or something like that. I couldn't draw him without making him suspicious or totally uncomfortable. So, I opted for the space across the room from me, deciding instead to work on my perspective drawing. It dawned on me later that I could have turned the other way and drawn the front desk area and the receptionist. Oh well, another day, another drawing.
The chair on the right was a different chair from the other one but it wasn't really that skinny -- I shortchanged it a little and they're both slightly askew. And the doorframe looks really bent out of shape on the top. But overall it's not too bad and I'm pretty happy with it.
I sketched the whole thing in pencil in about 15 minutes. Then I took it home later and added watercolor that night. I learned alot and had fun -- and that's the whole point! Posted by Picasa
