More fine trousers

Quick sketch of a chap playing a trumpet.

I started with his trousers.

For some reason , when I draw a character, I seem to start with their legs/trousers.

It's not what I would have thought would be the normal foundation for creating a character, but they do often come to me trousers first.

Then if I get the neck and nose right, I feel I'm on the way.

Then I think of a hairdo.

But I do tend to leave arms till last.

Sometimes I only stick arms on when I sketch them doing things.

Maybe it's a bit like Alec Guinness only feeling he can properly do a character when he's got the right shoes.
