Some commuter drawings in my new moleskine from yesterday mornings. Bit of a bumpy ride, but managed to get some marks down.
Also trying to break the block I have of sketching in public. It would seem having a smaller notebook helps.

Four views of Bristol, two oldies, one tree, some Berlin shoppers and a young Salvador Dali.
Most of these had a process video on the second page so that’s obviously a thing that goes down well. Also that picture of the boat scrolls, I didn’t just draw the front.
Thank you to everyone for all the likes and comments, I enjoy the few moments a day I get to draw so much and getting support like that is wonderful. 🙏
Let’s do another year. 💥💥💥

Various horizon lines drawn from the window of the 11:30am to London Paddington, going through Bath Spa, Chippenham, Swindon, Didcot Parkway. September 2014.
“Not sure if you have tried drawing on a train, most people are too close for you to study without causing a uncomfortable situation and generally stuff is going passed so quickly outside you need a super fast photographic memory to get it in your brain before you can decide how to represent it on the page. So I decided to go for the horizon, because that goes pass slower and if you miss a bit it doesn’t look too weird if you just join on to the continuation.”.
