Sketches in Beta sketchbook.

Quick sketches at the Union meeting. I start using Beta book, even wanted to leave it for ink wash and watercolor, but because I almost finished Gamma, I need something for everyday, for travel.

I thought I was pretty discrete and no one can see what I am doing, but I was unpleasantly surprised when guys approached me afterwards and asked to show sketchbook and asked me to draw their boss, may not the boss but really important man. So I will have to, probably soon.

Here on a train, trying to put to work my amazing Smoker's pencil, British, so charming, with the round end to press tobacco in the pipe and a sharp blade to pierce cigars, I think. I will draw it soon.
