I met up with the NYC Urban Sketchers crew for Worldwide SketchCrawl 38 on Saturday. On my way, I sketched these folks:
I caught up with the group at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. This is one of the least appealing public spaces in town, though it was mercifully rather empty on this weekend afternoon.
I did get scolded by a policeman for sitting on the floor, but thankfully he did not enforce the "no drawing" rule:
