un 2CV pour Lapin
The last two days Nouakchott has been filled with 2CV. There's a big meeting in Bamako, Mali to celebrate the 50th year since independance and they've been crossing Mauritania on their way there.
Today as I left Auberge Sahara, where some of them have been staying I decided to make a quick sketch in honnour of another sketcher Lapin, who excels in car sketches.
You might as well check urbansketchers book on cars at issue a real beauty and very inspiring for someone that never considered before to be sketching a car!
