HELPFUL HINTS:  When drawing out in public, try not to stare at your human subjects this can cause undue suspicion.  It is more enjoyable to capture people when they are unaware of your efforts to draw them.  Also, be prepared to attract curious onlookers.  Instead of letting the interruptions annoy you embrace the opportunity to show others how artists work.  Maybe inspiring them to try drawing too.

UR-TURN:  Traveling in of itself presents it's own set of challenges.  What have you encountered trying to keep up your sketching during these times?  How have handled these situations?

Until Next Time.
