Yesterday, I decided to get a change of scenery for my urban sketches. I first went to the Walnut Creek Public Library and sketched the many people seemingly using computers and laptops, instead of reading any actual books. Here are my sketches - I started no. 21 using a water soluble brush pen and then moved to my Pilot Falcon fountain pen with a soft extra fine nib, and finally added in gouache on Canson Mi Teintes toned paper.

I then moved onto to Broadway Plaza and went to Boudin SF for lunch. I discovered that people spend far less time at a lunch semi-fast food restaurant such as Boudin, than they do at a cafe or reading at the library. I had to be quicker and also sketch people (as I did in the library) using a lot of overlapping elements to indicate the depth of the people from me and each other. 

For my 40th person, I decided to draw portrait at home that would also satisfy the #sbsadrawingaday Day 66 prompt PURPOSE. I had just watched episode 1 of the 3rd season of NetFlix's Chef's Table - which was about Jeong Kwan, who is not a chef, but a Buddhist monk. Jeong is so full of peace and happiness and PURPOSE that I had to draw her for my 40th person yesterday.
