Sketch Book for the Artist

Crossings

DURING THIS RUSH HOUR, Venetians flow across a stepped

bridge and cascade into the streets beyond. Characters in the

foreground were drawn first, then the bridge beneath them,

followed by the streets. Each person was glimpsed in an

instant, and drawn immediately from memory.

To catch characters like this, note

only their most essential action

and feature. Caricature each

person slightly.
