Crossings

DURING THIS RUSH HOUR, Venetians flow across a stepped
bridge and cascade into the streets beyond. Characters in the
foreground were drawn first, then the bridge beneath them,
followed by the streets. Each person was glimpsed in an
instant, and drawn immediately from memory.
To catch characters like this, note
only their most essential action
and feature. Caricature each
person slightly.
