Drawing in the Mall: Day One

So yeah, just like the title says. I spent a half hour at St. Laurent today on the way home, and I intend to make that a regular part of my afternoon commute if all goes well, drawing people with ballpoint pen. I've got somewhere I want to go with this, and while I'm not very good yet (clearly), I think I can get a lot better.

I've had a lot of good artists tell me I should be doing this, so who am I to argue?
