New Orleans, LA - Jazz at Cafe Du Monde (illustration)

I made myself pick a spot to work on my "people skills," and so I found myself at Cafe Du Monde across the street from Jackson Square.  I ate a plate of beignets first, though.

I figured if I just started with simple line drawings at first to capture the silhouettes, then follow up with the shading, then I might be able to pull this off . . . and it worked!  I celebrated with more beignets.

The jazz guys were moving around so much I hard time getting them down on paper.  Note to self: practice drawing moving targets; order more beignets.
