moments caught

These scribblings were done while we sat and people watched in a rather food coma-like state by the galleries and chocolate shops. It was so windy, it was difficult to keep pencil on paper, but that's just how it is in Chicago.

A woman walked by with a very fluffy white dog while we sat on the corner. Despite being blown around like nobody's business, the dog was very happy to be out there (and was one of the only medium-large size dogs I had seen all day), and that made me want to remember him, hence the sketch.

 This was atop one of the buildings across from where we were sitting. It was a a pretty boring looking building outside of it's roof adornments, which I couldn't determine whether they were gargoyles or what. Regardless, I liked the style of it, so I tried to capture it in a sketch.

The Hershey's chocolate store corner. People were walking to and fro, so I tried to capture them in this quick sketch as well. Perspective has never been my friend in drawing, so I was hoping drawing one would be good practice. This corner stood out more than others because of the weird arches that seemed to serve no other purpose than to be decorative. I think that's why I liked it so much.
