If I draw a mall scene, it's only right to draw the people in it. Tysons Mall in better days was populated by a nicely mixed crowd of people of all races, classes, ages, and nationalities. Here is one of my pages of mall walkers with their purchases, fashions, and families. There are women in work clothes, youths in baggy shorts, children and babies. The larger drawing is of a man in office work clothes with a baby stroller, feeding his offspring while the mother goes shopping. Necessary current event mention: I hope someday this now-deserted mall will be full of these little walkers again.
