West Village.

 Scene in the City. In this weather so many street cafes bring their tables outside, fun to sketch, street signs, bus stop, colorful details of the city life. I used ink and added bits of color later with beloved Kuretake pens. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush, really enjoyed their delicate tip, since my water brushes loosing sharp point, even I tried to trim it with scissors, as advised by Laure Ferlita.
 Spent all morning fighting with scanner, lost hope, because it broke lines into red and green pixels, but my usual stubbornness worked again for me and it scanned for now. I think we should appreciate stubborn kids (my father didn't think so), because it is a sign they won't give up easily and try again and again till they may solve the problem.
 Couple of days ago I decide to get rid of my old PC and beforehand erase all data from the hard drive. I Googled how to, I made my old slowpoke connect to Internet, download program on disc and for 3 hours erase all data including operating system without any chance of recovery. That was really cool.

I would have unscrewed the hard drive and put a club hammer to it - far more effective.

Ha, Kevin, it is more violent than my way, but it is way too. :-)

Excellent sketch. I like the Deli piece as well. Did you finish your eating or forget it while drawing?

Thank you very much Onpainting, :-) Finished food later at home, because it was cold and crusty at the end. I checked your blog, beautiful paintings.
