Subway sketching past sunday

I haven't sketched outdoors lately at all, looking through my small Surroundings sketchbook the last one I did outdoors is dated sept.24th, so last sunday I took my sketchbook with me in my way to take a test, resulting in 7 sketches in the subway.

The first 3 were from the few people on the train around 8 am, there's not too much people at that hour in the subway on sundays, the good thing is that the three of them were distracted and/or more than willing to pose for me so I could look as much as I wanted, the color and text were added later at home. My favourite model of this batch was the poser, the "sleeping" guy of the 3rd pic, he wasn't sleeping at all! I clearly saw him staring at me while I was drawing the previous one and the moment he noticed me looking for a new subject he just posed like that, I had a great time drawing him in those baggy clothes and much more interesting pose than the usual passenger.


I did the final 4 in my way back home at midday, and this time I was lucky enough to sit in front of sleeping-party-girl, I've found that a sleeping model is the best in the world! had to make 2 sketches of her, face and feet; I'm not happy with the standing man though, I messed up proportions badly :(, and then couldn't finish the last one either because we arrived at my station but he was really interesting, I wish I'd had a couple more minutes to sketch him.


And here's the one done in september, I don't think I posted it back then, looking at it now I wish I'd forget about the rest and focused on the corner with the poster and the motorbike :) loved drawing it!
