Stretching Out


I think this guy was a tourist . He was in the piazza in a little Italian town and I bet he was waiting for his wife, as most of the women were shopping .
All the hubbies waited patiently while the wife went off with the credit card, just as it should be too I might add. LOL
He was actually larger than this in my photo, but it was a small piece of velour I used, and as always, I have hard time scaling down to fit the page. I don't use graphs and draw freehand all the time, this is no exception.
In fact this time I drew directly onto the velour without transferring my own drawing from a prior sketch. I am getting braver as you see.
