Sketchbook pages

I wanted to do something creative today but didn't feel like painting in oil.  So, I pulled out a couple magazines and just did some sketching of figures.  When I first started drawing many years ago, I always used a pencil and had a kneaded eraser in my hand - did a lot of erasing and always wanted to be "perfect".  Now, my preferred tool is a extra fine point Sharpie.  I guess I have grown in the respect that I now don't worry if it's perfect or not.  Sometimes things that aren't perfect are more charming.  My requirement is to have fun.  Of course, it feels good if a drawing/sketch does seem to capture the feel or essence of the figure.
