Sometimes You Gotta Play…
I carried on playing with the coloured papers from the other day, zooming in on sections and enlarging them to see what they looked like.

A couple of backs at the Bunkhouse in this little scribble. Husb and I were there over the weekend, it’s a good venue. The man had HUGE trainers.
Back At The Bunkhouse: 2

Back At The Bunkhouse:1
Husb and I went to a gig at The Bunkhouse on Saturday and I had to have a scribble. I saw this guy’s back and wanted to draw him from behind. So I did.
