I had such fun yesterday drawing my proposed Reeve & McIntyre replacement photo for the Edinburgh Book Festival website...



...and turning it into a chorus line... that I thought I'd try another crowd scene for my morning warmup drawing. (Spot the little kid getting mega-excited.)



Of course, Edinburgh is going to be JUST LIKE THIS. Well, probably with more kids.



EDIT: Ha, writer Philip Ardagh was protesting the lack of beards in the crowd scene. So here's a customised version. See if you can spot him and his best pal Elmer the Patchwork Elephant.


(Clue: follow the beard.)
