Keep it loose

   Sundays are always the last minute rush around - trying to get that last sketch before the artist leaves.  For me, I need to make enough money before I run off and spend some on sketches.  So, I sympathize with people who show up at my table on Sunday looking for sketches.  Heck, some people only come on sunday (depending on the con).
   So.  I do have Sunday - Pencil's Only - sketches.
   These are sketches I have to do at the table - interruputed by sales, costume gazing, friends saying bye and the like.  I would certainly rather do sketches overnight, back in some hotel room - where I can drag a lamp over the work.
   I find myself trying to work quickly on those sketches - loose.
   Sometimes those sketches turn out better than the ones I have sweated over!  It's the immediacy of the line work.  I usually hit the poses I know pretty well or have worked out before in my sketchbook.
   I'm just surprised how these things work out.
