This was one of the busiest areas that I've ever sketched. Though, just cars. Only one person passed me while I was drawing, and he offered to get me a drink. It took a little longer to draw, just because there were times when there was enough traffic blocking my view when the lights would change.
I've been wanting to draw this little place for a long time. It's in the corner of a shopping strip parking lot, facing the street, it's back to the parking lot. I just love how half of it looks like a dog house and has two howling dogs painted on it.
It's one of those places that I couldn't get any other sketchers to join me at, so I went myself this morning.
I'm going to run out of days where it's comfortable to sketch soon. Today, it wasn't cold, but I did have to wear a serious coat. You know the winter weather is coming, look at the ad I drew for a coat that is "like a down jacket, but stronger."
The rear end of a red car you see, that's mine.

Looks like an interesting place. Good story, too. I like the places where I can remember the sketching process. They are the personal sessions.
John, I know what you mean! I love the feel of the day, the people who happen by, everything that goes into being in the scene, as well as the process and the resulting sketch
