A Sad Day

I woke up this morning to the shocking news about Michael Jackson, so I missed the morning session of life drawing because I wanted to watch the TV news. Luckily they do an afternoon session too, so I still had a chance to do these.

Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink.
