I take my sketchbook and a collection of different drawing media with me everywhere. You never know when I great sketch op will happen! I also get out to life drawing classes on a regular basis, both nude and costumed. Dr. Sketchy's is a blast.

 A little while ago I headed out to the snazzy cafeteria in a mall near my house with a big sketchbook to do some gesture drawing. I discovered that going at 4:30 in the evening was a dull time to draw there. I found a few interesting opportunities and finally settled on sketching the Luxe bar/cafe in front of me and any people in and around it. Then a young dad strolled his very young son in a stroller to the table RIGHT in front of me and between me and the bar. I figured I would ask him if he minded me sketching his son... and he said sure, go ahead! It was the best. 40 minutes of baby modelling, one on one. Babies do not stop moving any single part of their body when they are awake. You'll notice in my colour sketch above that baby has 3 arms. That's because I drew two and then he squirmed around.
