Subway Sketches Part LXIX
I spent an INORDINATE amount of time on the A train tonight, traveling almost the entire length of the line. It was made worse by the fact that the train was having some troubles, and seemed to be pausing at almost every station for a lot longer than normal, so I had over an hour to work on this. It started with her, and grew and grew the longer I was on the train. This is the longest subway sketch that I have ever done, and the first one that grew over a two page spread in my sketchbook. I'm pretty sure that the guy was aware that I was sketching them. Over the course of the hour he met my eyes several times. He never let his companion know though, at least not while on the train.
I like their hands a lot. And the guy looks really expressive (in a slouching sort of way :) ).
Cully,
Maybe because he knew and were looking to you his sketche is so rich, like he, in person, is overthere looking to us. Another very good one.
This is great - it does look like you and he are sharing a secret. . .
Wow, great sketch!
