Sketching Out In The World

Last night, I went to see Flower Drum Song at the Park Square Theater. This was a co-production with Mu Performing Arts. It was a very well-done. In the five minutes or so before the show started, I did a very quick and very rough sketch of several patrons sitting several rows in front of me. While I still feel self conscious, it also felt very good and a tiny bit more normal to sketch in public.

I couldn't figure out the stage versus the curtain. I enjoy hair. I enjoy the backs of people's heads. Some day, I'll start to try faces.

Having to sketch quickly is a good exercise in learning which details matter and which do not.
