The seated figure shows the promise of more humans in your drawings. Good on you mate. Like a lion you took on the challenge, faced it and were not eaten by it.

Great job on remembering colors too. Also kudos on drawing people outside, in public and in kind of a hurry. Believe it or not, it was the title of your post that intrigued me enough to go here first. Keep on drawing! Oh! I'd be interested in seeing how you might draw a person walking past the Sears Tower, that included the Sears Tower all the way to the top. I was just learning about 3 point perspective-worm's eye view - and would have to travel a good long way to find a building tall enough to practice on. Just if you are ever in need of a drawing idea some time.... Nicely done! Great job on remembering colors too. Also kudos on drawing people outside, in public and in kind of a hurry.

It is fun to see that the lions are being dressed and participate in the city life. Art and the every day life. I also find it a challenge to draw in public and I use a small sketchbook, can't imagine doing it with easel, umbrella, paint box... Beautiful drawing and good story.

My husband and I are visting family in Chicago this week. We're going downtown today to the Ar Institute. I've always enjoyed seeing the lions at the front entry. Nice drawing.

Made me wonder if there is any specific meaning to Lions and Librairies since they also guard the entrance to the New York Public Library. Great Lion.
