Car Repair

Great weather today to do something outside!   My car mechanic scheduled a weekend (Saturday) work on my car.  There's a rattling noise coming from rear driver's side and I thought of replacing the rear shock absorbers.  He said the noise problem was coming from the rear stabilizer link and should be replaced. 

 As he worked on my car, I tried to sketch him.  Later, I realized the missed opportunity of sketching him in several different action poses because I was focused on making this one image I have initially created in mind.

 Lesson:  Be aware. Be open-minded. Be ready to make a quick change-of-plan.

My final sketch.


The initial sketch capture formed in mind.

Adding color wash.

    You did a good job capturing him. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. lol

      Thank you, Joan. He was in this same position several times. It was like a good 1-2 minute pose warm up drawing exercise. LOL
