I was overwhelmed by the rich decoration of the Loring Cafe. I decided to try a different type of line, more fluid, in the style of  Judith. I only used pencil on site, I did not want to risk ruining the tablecloth with ink. Later at home I used a felt marker and colored pencils to try to give the sketches the organic colorful feeling of the decoration.

    1. I tried a first sketch in my normal style and the scale of the place did not go well with the pen I had. I then simplified the forms. Maybe I don't have a style :)
