Another day in the park

I went to the park to draw again. I choose this really cool dragon statue I felt inspired by...apparently so did every tourist in Xiamen. Unlike the other statue I drew in the same park, this one had foot traffic, and a lot of it. At one point a street vendor hovered over my shoulder and commented about my drawing in Chinese. Next thing I knew a motorbike pulled up right next to me and 2 guys got off, I was worried at first but decided they were harmless. All three of them watched me draw for about 15 minutes and commenting. It was nerve racking! It makes me feel like I should practice at home before I go out in public to draw. On the bright side it did force me to actually focus on something, instead of being worried about what people were thinking.
