These are some back load of sketches from last year which I haven't posted-they show everything I feel when I observe people everyday. I could catch a sleeping man three times, if he keeps changing the pose! I simply love it! I could catch a lady putting on make-up in a rush on the train-this says a lot about London life! Someone could be right there, staring at me and I'll take it on, full and bold-they'll ask if they can have a look and I'll smile and say , Yes!! Then I watch their reactions, always a mixture of shock and excitement! London is the place to be! Hope you enjoy!
SPECIAL QUOTE
"The sketch is, by everyone's admission, extraordinarily clever and characteristic: it is of course mere dabs and blurs and considerably caricatured, but certainly more like me than I expected anything could(be)"-Veron Lee, in a letter to her mother on Sargent's 3 hour painting of her.

Thanks Azra!
I love your sketches! I like your sketching style. Do you use a pen?
Thanks "got caught " -I use a pen, in my next post on sketches, I will add a picture that shows my ball point pen sketching kit.
Really stunning sketches again, the one of the woman putting on makeup makes me think you do these very quickly - how long does it take you to do one sketch of a person?
Thanks Ben, that one was sketched on a bus on Kings Road as it says on the sketch and it must have taken about 4-6mins or probably a little bit more because I think she got off before me, so I didn't really finish.
Sometimes it helps if there's traffic too!
Lovely sketches. You capture the true spirit of a place so well, as was so evident in your series on Bath.
Best wishes,
Thanks Vinayak!
Haha, even your handwriting has an awesomely fluid aesthetic. :D
Thanks Oliver!
