I like drawing the piano player at church. She is angular, still, colorful and contrasting. The first 2 are from my small sketchbook of 2009-2010. It is inside a soft leather/suede cover that has slots for colored pencils. It even has a pencil sharpener attached to it. The last 2 are from my larger sketchbook from 2008-2010.

After I finished I went over and showed the drawing to her and the gentleman sitting with her. She liked the drawing and we exchanged emails so I could scan it and send it to her. I asked if I could draw her again and also take some photos of her. She liked that idea so a few weeks later we met so she could model for me. Here is the drawing I did at that time.
