Sketches on the bus, train and outside the station in March I



More sketches. I was waiting for a client on Saturday morning at London Bridge and I saw this homeless guy sitting on a soaked damp pavement outside Borough market. I managed to sketch him for a while after giving some alms, but what touched me most was the weather in which this guy was able to sit outside. I did the sketch and was almost frozen to death. I wonder how these guys adapt. Hmmmmmm just freaks me out, I think just I'll just stop complaining about anything.



The other sketch beside the homeless guy is me, I was feeling real sick in the morning on the bus but I couldn't resist sketching myself in the window,as there were no models. I think that shows a lot on my face. The worst place to feel sick is on the bus.

Great sketches. I've attempted to take my sketch book with me, but always end up not doing anything. It is just hard for me to sketch "on the go."

Lokelani, I think you have to start by just opening the sketchbook and just draw what you know as an ice breaker, then launch out! You'll take yourself by surprise!

Adebanji...I was so moved by your sketches, each showing powerful slices of life, even if just a face... so I've nominated you for the bloggers Sunshine Award. You deserve it.
