I spend hours sitting at my son's hockey practices. I started sketching the hockey players... Ouch! They move fast! And they never stop moving. It's the nature of skates, and of children wearing skates. One-second gesture drawings! Definitely a challenge! And good for the visual memory. As I became familiar with the typical hockey gestures, the fun began.

Scroll down for more drawings NOT about hockey.
