And, while true, getting the ball first doesn’t keep it from being a foul.

I actually did a cartoon about this before (http://sircolby.com/cartoons/i-got-the-ball) but recently I came across a sketch I had done and decided I liked it and even though it might be repetitive I’d draw it anyway. The sketch, by the way, was from yet another meeting or clinic or whatever when instead of paying attention I was drawing cartoons, a habit I haven’t broken since my early school days.

This drawing comes from a photo I took during one of the soccer tournaments I used to administer. (I have to use the term “soccer” so I won’t confuse my American friends by writing “football.”)

I decided to be clever with the matting by cutting in and adding band-aids, complete with little stickers. I’m not sure it really worked but it was fun trying to do something a little different.

Colored pencil on paper, 10″X12″ (not including mat)

It’s an evening game. The colors at the top of the drawing represent another stunning Arizona sunset.
