I was flipping through an old sketch diary and found a line sketch of this park bench. The line sketch was made back in the Spring of 2008, in a park near my son’s preschool in Alexandria, Virginia. I had completed the bench in the original line sketch. Using the lighting set down on the bench, I finished the rest of the pencil drawing from memory, then scanned it and ran it through Pixlr. I added a rough-looking border, then overlaid the “paper” filter onto the image to give it a more textured look.
