the_eggwhiteAround the start of November last year, I actually got my sketchbook out for the first time in years (actually, I bought a new one) and did some scribbling. Two sketches worth, which I've only just gotten around to scanning in. I've sketched a grand total of once since then, but do plan to start again when the weather's good enough that I can go and sit somewhere interesting and doodle. I've not scanned the more recent one on account of it being terrible, but I thought these two came out pretty well, since they're my first after a very long gap. Even I was starting to forget that I'm not just a computer geek.
One of these was drawn on the train out of London at about 6:30ish in the evening. It was busy when I started, but quite empty when I finished. People moving all over the place - getting on and off, changing seats as more became available - that kind of thing. This was drawn probably in about 15 minutes, with inadequate materials. In other words, I used a random pencil I found in my bag, which was fairly blunt and I had no means to sharpen.
Train home
The other was drawn on the district line at about 8am. It was quite quiet when the journey started, but from Hammersmith onwards I had a fine view of another commuter's arse (for some reason my brain made me type communter - a strangely appropriate neologism, perhaps - conflating commuter and munter?). As a result, I stopped drawing somewhere around Hammersmith, meaning that this took probably around 15 minutes. I didn't finish (as evidenced by the somewhat blank door), but I quite liked it anyway. Especially as it was drawn with the same pencil as the previous sketch, still unsharpened.
District Line
Together, I call these my "amorphous commuter blobs" collection.
