Underneath

It was windy and cool yesterday when we went to PT for Gene.  I took my small Canson sketchbook in but didn't take an art pen or any pen.  I sketched with a mechanical pencil.  I'm so messy with a pencil I move my hands all over so get graphite on my fingers and spread it all around.  I started to clean it up with and eraser but then I end up doing parts of it over and you know I don't do overs.  So what you get is what you get.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 180 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-180-jan-9-21.8614/

Number 3 underneath - the receptionists feet.  The one on our left had her foot over her knee so I couldn't see it.  Odd looking with one foot.  Their chairs were a bit different as well.  the trash can is black with a black plastic bag.

I'm not very neat working in pencil either. I smudge everything and spend more time cleaning up the page than I did working on it. lol

Joan, thanks, I hear you! I admire folks that work in pencil and charcoal for that reason. Odd, though, I don't feel that way about pastels, maybe they are more forgiving .. the smearing just adds texture. Ha.
