stardust cafe, french night

unfortunately there were only a couple of people dressed in french outfits. There were some mimes that showed up later on in the evening, but they were talking so I guess they weren't really mimes! This is a sketch I did while just watching people. I am having more fun drawing and sketching. I'm not to where my friend Thor is, but i hope to be able to fully capture the essence of the place i sketch in or the people sooner or later as he does. I guess you have to start somewhere right? I'm also trying to be looser with my sketching so it has more of an organic flow to it and isn't so solid. I'm hoping that eventually when i have a job i'll be able to get a watercolor kit and be able to paint while i sit there as well; I think it adds a whole new dimension to the drawing and atmosphere of the sketch.

Nice sketch. Now that you have that down. Go apply for a bunch of jobs. You will have many failures before you have one success. The key is to ensure you are trying so that failures can occur. Don Bluth is a good example.
