Wink example:

I used to sit in the play area of my son's elementary school some
pretty days, and do drawings of the kids. I also would have permission to sit in a classroom or many...

This drawing is one I did in colored pencil. This was 30 yrs ago...
and the fancy ones that are out now were not available. I used the Prismacolor Verithins, because I could build up color slowly and cover up mistakes with erasing. I did the basic drawing in
light pencil and used some color notes, and finished it at home.
I think I did 2 visits to this play yard. The climbing thingey was called The Trojan Horse.

I recall one little girl came up to me, and said very seriously:
"What are you going to be when you grow up?" LOL

There were no digital cameras, no internet back then. I never used a film camera either. So I was forced to learn to work this way, which was a good thing for my future work.
