Backpack
I don’t think this person was too relaxed. Whenever I sit in a chair without removing my pack I am very uncomfortable. However, my subject was seated long enough for me to shade this sketch by rubbing it with my finger.

Young Woman at Table
Unlike some of my previous subjects, this young woman did not seem to be studying. She was very calm
