Long Line Lunchtime Sketches

After practicing my landscape sketches this morning, my plan was to get some lunch and practice sketching interiors using Steven Reddy's techniques from his Craftsy class at Tender Greens. But, when I got to the restaurant, it was packed and the line for ordering and getting the food was long! I took advantage of this opportunity to quickly sketch the workers behind the counter as they made the food.

I sketched using my Kuretake brush pen in line, which helped me sketch fast and loose. Once I got back to my table, I added water with a paint brush for the tone. In the end, it was too chaotic in there to do the detailed interior sketch I had planned, but I was grateful for the figure sketching practice!
