First Sketch for Paris, High Noon

My friend Trent has been working on the manuscript for a novel, Paris, High Noon. He commissioned me to do a few illustrations for his book, and after weeks of procrastination, I'm finally starting on the project. Here is my first moleskine sketch for the book. I don't usually draw cowboys, or people on horses, so I had to turn to a photo of John Wayne as reference. As usual, my Blackberry was not designed to take the best photos in the world.
