One morning this past summer, we had breakfast at a nice little cafe a couple of towns over. While waiting on the street for our table, I saw this trio eating outside and was drawn to their silhouettes against the summer backdrop of colonial architecture and bright sky. Initially, I designed the drawing without any indication of the overhead canopy, though I had it in my photo reference. It didn't really make sense to have the diners in the shade while the street was in the sun without explanation. I know it could have been the sun behind the building, or some type of overhang but decided to add my version of the awning. One of the things I like about constructing drawings is that I can arrange the elements as I want. I purposely organized the buildings behind the diners to bring the attention down and around the diners, to keep the design from looking like two separate environments. I also moved the angles and intersections to avoid any unintentional tangents.
This is my seventy-first daily drawing. Again, thank you for looking.
