The weather was perfect today and students were outside enjoying it as they studied, which helped me along with my goal of sketching groups of people in a setting. I again used markers in place of my watercolors and am liking the ease of use. I need to be more thoughtful as I fill in color since the strokes remains visible after it dries. I like the texture of the stroke marks in the shorts that the figure on the right is wearing, and wish I had colored in the middle figure using similar strokes. The study group’s enthusiasm for anthropology was infectious and the parts I overheard made me want to be a student again.
