Lunch Break Sketching



There was a slight slow down in the madness at work today, so for a change I got out of the office at lunchtime. There are some nice benches at the corner of Wacker and Lake in Chicago, and you can just glimpse the Specialty's Bakery over the raised garden beds when you're sitting in the little oasis. The green stuff is the only thing that makes it an oasis because the "L" still rumbles by, and the road traffic is there for your listening pleasure as well. Still, it's not the office... sitting at the desk... staring at the computer, so it's a big improvement.

Didn't get all the details finished up, and I'll probably never do so. It is just a sketch after all. It was a marvelously relaxing way to spend part of my lunch hour though.

Thanks for stopping by!

Nice job, and Chicago will give you lots of possibilities - I'm addicted to lunch time sketches - so much better for the mind. After a few times you'll have a good feel for how much drawing you can take on in those minutes.
