I figured there would be a place around South Park where I could sit and sketch something of interest. Ta da! Here it is. I actually returned to this place 3 times. After about 90 minutes of drawing on the first afternoon, the threatening storm finally chased me off with some sprinkles. Only a couple landed on the paper - and that was through the open car window on the way home. This place attracted my attention for a number of reasons. The porch, the roof line, the view down the side of the place, the car, the bike, and on and on... Yah, I know I am not 'sposta get sidetracked by all the details. So where do I stop? I had some time, a pencil, and a little white paper left in front of me. There musta been a little breeze too, as the mosquitoes were not pestering me. Most of the first session was getting the basic lines down, then I made a stop another day to check on some of the shading. The kid who owns the toad in the driveway walked by and commented how nice it was to find this place to live, and that, "you even got my car in it!" Then a couple days later on the last stop to finish the drawing Stephanie came with me as I was able to pretty much complete it.
As you can see this was started on the 18th of August about 5 pm when the temp was 78 degrees. Done on Strathmore Sketch 60 lb paper with my trusty Pentel .9mm B lead.
