Sketches on the train, tube and bus in London (March I)



Here I will be showing some of the sketches in one of my sketchbooks. I sketch almost everyday on public transport. This has been my practice for many years now and I just keep this habit going as it is the way I see the world!



Hope you enjoy these sketches and I hope you can feel the way I felt for each face. I just love faces!!!



Nothing is so enjoyable, so interesting and so engaging as when I sit down to thoroughly sketch the faces I see on public transport!
