"Field sketches" -- aka, sketches done on location, all from life, most very quickly. Some I worked more on later, adding color and texture.  I did many of these sketches at a local coffee shop. Many on Sunday evenings of live music. Some at church, sketching during the sermon. And several at a regular cosplay sketch event.  As always, these are all drawn freehand, stylus in hand, using the Sketch Club app for iPad. These days, I either have to do "Zoom" drawing to work from life, or draw my husband, Greg. #fieldsketches

The Zoom Meeting (sketched during the meeting)

Sketching while in a Zoom meeting is kind of a bridge between drawing from life and drawing from a photo reference. These are more or less 8-minute sketches, stitched together.
