My cohorts chose this crane to draw which is not something I would have picked. It’s a famous landmark in Nantes, France. Such a tall structure could never fit onto my sketchbook page. Yet there I was having to draw it. I had to squish and distort it so much in order to fake it onto the paper. Somehow, I succeeded. The other sketchers were quite amazed at my nifty trick. I admit there was a bit of luck involved. The guys I was with drew so fast. This forced me to sketch at lightning speed. Exhausting to say the least at my age. All were impressed, so it was worth it for my ego. We moved to another location when we were done. I sketched that locale into this crane scene too. My pals admired my two scenes in a single drawing routine. Plus, they appreciated that I made everything look like a Mad Magazine cartoon.
