Food Court Lunch

I had some extra time while shopping so I sketched the mall food court. I noticed three things:
1.  It's amazing how little time people take when eating in a food court. People aren't there to chat; it's all business so that makes for some fast sketching. I definitely feel sketching people in a proper cafe is easier.
2.  About 80% of females partaking in a food court lunch had longer hair tied back in a ponytail.
3.  The fast food franchise kiosks with huge advertising budgets get a return on their investment. There was a constant queue for burgers while some of the other places were super quiet. The Chinese food place had one guy just standing there behind a buffet, with no takers. I kept looking over at him and it never changed. (When this one was done though, I went over to Mr. Lonely and bought a plate of sweet and sour pork.)

Centre City on a Rainy Afternoon.

Sketching on Saturday was at Centre City. Some of the cast from the "Sister Act" musical comedy were there doing a Nun Run. Sister Act will be on at TSB showplace from 21st July to 6th August. This was an ideal opportunity to practice some more "Sketching People".

Here is my sketch:

 Pencil and Inktense Pencil.

Once I'd finished this sketch I still had about 1/2 an hour until show and tell. What to do next? The sales were on, why not go shopping? No. I stayed the distance and did another sketch, even though it was sorely tempting.
