Jazz Drawing
Another lazy sketch
In the midst of Friday's jazz concert at the Institut Français (listening to the Leïla Olivesi Quartet, see last post) I took out my notebook and started to draw the bass player. It was almost too dark to see what I was doing. My fingers did not seem to have had a problem, they were guided by the music.
When I was "done" with drawing the bassist, I was happy to draw a rough outline of the drummer too. I think the sketch got even more wild there. I tried to get the drummer's grin in, but I don't think I succeeded. In the end (when the light came back on), the drawing looked acceptable to me. It's not my usual style at all, but I like it anyway :-)
Some of the bassist's posture is reflected in the drawing, which brings back the evening in my mind, and that's all it takes. As usual, click on the thumb for a bigger view.

The Music must have been great to guide your fingers that way. I wish I was there.
ah you are a moleskiner like me! you are very talented.
chloe, when I look at your photos (I did not see your sketches yet) I would not call myself talented any more. Your pictures are exceptionally good - I just dabble.
I like those little notebooks, but sometimes I would wish for something more sturdy. I'm using mine for more than 3 years now, as I'm not filling it up so fast. It suffered a bit in this time and I hope it won't fall appart suddenly.
