Froggies, on 2nd and G in Davis. Hadn’t been here in quite some time, so came here on Thursday night for a quick beer and a long sketch. Actually I took my time drinking the beer and drew faster instead. Froggies is alright; the serving staff are friendly, and the beer is good and not expensive. They do really nice food too. But I’m generally not a regular; the acoustics are bad in here, it’s a little too sports-bar in it’s character, I don’t know; can’t quite explain it. It gets a bit packed with young students on the nights when there are DJs, and can be a bit uncomfortable. I like it a lot more than the Grad (Davis’s big sports bar), though, and even the G Street Pub (which is certainly more pub-like, but appears to have been modelled directly on the worst possible late-80s Camden Town dive, particularly in the toilets). Froggies is better than those places. I prefer Little Prague though. Ah, the bars of Davis. So anyway, I fancied popping in here to do a slightly less brown pub drawing. And look, I even drew some people.
My oldest friend Tel, who now lives in Korea, loves this place. He last came here in 2006.
This is very well done. It is very busy, with loads of details, it could’ve been overwhelming, but you made it nicely balanced. I must say that if faced with a scene like that I would have selected to draw a salt shaker. I admire your courage.

cheers alex! I was a bit nervous about it but just went with it. I rarely draw people but I’m glad I kept some in there.
