Life's a Beach

Here we are in the dog days of summer, so this week's assignment is to draw a beach scene. You probably won't want too much detail, but use some iconic beach items - such as umbrellas, lifeguards, seagulls, etc. Incidentally, this came to me while I was staring at a very pleasing line of umbrellas in various states of leaning, but whose vertical poles were all perfectly aligned along a horizontal axis. This is your excuse to spend a day in the sun, folks. Do your sketch at the beach (I did), it's lots of fun.
