Urban Sketching People at the Cafe and my new custom sized Sketchbooks (Day 57 part 1 of 2)

Day 57 of sketching people. A visit to a local bar in Cabanas to sketch in the sunshine to sketch groups of people, to practice compositions with a group of people. And also try out a new sketchbook format in the shape of a photo booth strip of images.
