Afternoon fishing on the American River, pencil sketch

I wasn't quite ready to watercolor this scene, so I did a simple pencil sketch...my comfort zone:
 a sketch pad and a #2 pencil!

This guy that was fishing was sitting under the tree talking to his friends more than actually holding his pole, and holding the pole one handed because he had a beer in his other hand, so a little artistic lisence made for a more serene drawing.
