A sketch of Ned Price from my sketchbook. I watch PBS Newshour pretty much daily, sometimes pausing it when I need to step away. Occasionally, I'll get the urge to sketch things frozen on my laptop screen. In this case, it was Ned Price, US State Department spokesman. Drawn with pencil sketch, then inked.
