On Saturday, my wife invited me to tag along on a field trip she put together for the kids she teaches at preschool. The kids have been fascinated with bones the past few months, so Alex arranged a visit to the Bone Room in Berkeley. It's basically a natural history store squeezed into the dimensions of a boutique shop. You can buy replica dinosaur skulls, any number of authentic skeletons of interesting little creatures, or large bird feathers for the more faint at heart.
I wanted to sketch the kids in the store, but in such tight quarters with no place to safely place my coffee, I decided to wait until we had lunch in the neighboring park.
Constantly running children are pretty challenging to draw, but it's still fun to try!

those are great sketches man! It IS really hard to draw kids. It is the combination of their frantic motion and subtle features. That's a tough mix for an artist to sketch--at least in my experience. These are great though- and they have the spirit of playful kids which is the most important part.
Bone Room rules- I ordered a pigeon skeleton for myself for Xmas. Gonna use it in a painting when I can pull away from the job jobs.
