Don't Feed the Animals

Sometimes during my lunch hours while working for the City, I sit down amongst the rough and tumble characters of Victoriaville Mall to sketch them in their natural habitat. There is never a lack of interesting characters wandering about. I remember reading that Da Vinci loved to sketch the grotesque inhabitants of his village. Well this is my modern day interpretation of Da Vinci's studies. I had done the same studies last Summer and have noticed a great deal of progression in regards to my rendering skills. I tried to capture as much as I could with a run of the mill ball point pen. I found this time very helpful to maintain consistency with my drawing skills. Ink is less forgiving than graphite; therefore, I find myself moving more into the direction of inks and papers as of late. Since I have completed my co-op and Summer contract for the City of Thunder Bay, I have been greatly looking forward to my return to Hogwarts . . . I mean Sheridan. It's going to be a very important year in many regards. I cannot wait to begin.
