sketch: tennis receive stance

My drawing today is of a male player in receiving stance. Even though the weather is getting colder, I can’t stop thinking about tennis. In fact, I continue to play indoors when possible. Besides, tennis players make awesome figural drawing subjects.

The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals is happening now, from November 15 to 22. It is the last big tournament before all of the players take much needed rest (for a only month) until the season begins again in the new year. Jeez, tennis players are the hardest workers in sports. Their entire season lasts 11 continuous months. Once they finish a tour in one country, they are off to another country. On the plus side, it is an awesome way to see the world.

painting: sycamore

While biking through a park, I come across a pile of giant leaves. I believe it is called a Sycamore. It is big enough to cover my head from the sun. My watercolour of the Sycamore leaf shows it in all of its Autumn spikiness.
