This doodle got a little out of control and took over the whole page. I was combining elements from many different building styles, so the final result is a complete mess.

I stumbled upon an anti-racism protest on campus today. Apparently there were some violent racial slurs used against people of color at a fraternity event this past weekend. Around 60 students gathered on the Terrell Mall to silently demonstrate against these acts.

It was an interesting juxtaposition of events on the mall, as there was literally a hotdog stand set up adjacent to the group of protesters. On one hand there is this silent demonstration against very real and harrowing prejudice, and 5 feet away there are groups of students joking and laughing loudly as they barbecue hotdogs and serve student customers.

It was a challenge to capture the sense of a dense group of people like this, and ultimately, each person ended up being represented by collections of scribbles. The second sketch shown here was very difficult as I was sitting maybe twenty feet from the demonstrators, and people were constantly passing by and stopping in front of me, obscuring the view I had already mapped out on the page. I had a good chunk of time before I was meeting my roommate, so each of these sketches took around 40 minutes apiece.
