Subway Characters #3

I stayed at a friend’s place in Brooklyn all summer. It was a one hour subway ride between the apartment and the place I was working, so I had plenty of time to sketch. I thought, live drawing classes are like $100, why not DIY it with the added challenge that your subject could move positions at any point!? I ended up learning a lot not only about the technical side of figure drawing, but also the minute details—a scuffed watch, an asymmetrical earring—that add to a person’s aesthetic and often reveal a lot about them.
