This is a fast sketch of trick-or-treaters. It is a mess but captures the fun of the evening. I quickly jotted down movement with a brush pen and later added watercolor and watercolor pencil. The construction of the pen brush forces me to record big movements and gestures. It magnifies all the lively hyper action of the night- kids rushing about trying to make the most of being out in the dark, wearing costumes and gobbling candy. This sketch definitely tells a story which is one of my major goals.
