I was tempted to go to Ferguson to draw the protests, but it's not safe. Even daredevils I know said it was not a good scene, and one was robbed at gunpoint. So I drew this from the live coverage on TV late at night as we watched, sadly, the burning of businesses and livelihoods.
I'm trying to use up a sketchbook that has paper that is kind of good for nothing. It drains my markers, clogs my pens, and devours my paint. I used watersoluble crayons for the above picture. Then I doodled some simplified critters for a bit and had fun doing a herd of horned critters as part of my Sketchbook Skool homework.

Love those little animals, particularly the porcupine. What a cutie.
Wow - love the last drawing of horned critters! Makes me want to draw some (and I don't think I ever have) but I could not do better. They are fun and cute and appealing! Courageous to draw Ferguson. Documentary drawings are an art to themselves and you seem to have the knack - you have captured the spirit of the event. And to want to go there!
