Berlin Subway

A quick sketch of a sleeping man on the U2 train in Berlin. Ink on paint chip. The subways were much cleaner and quieter in Berlin. They were a pleasure to ride.

Rough Strokes

Lately, I've been trying to be a little quicker, and consciously rougher with my strokes just to add a little more personality.

Personally, I'm very happy with my sketches (especially compared to my Illustration portfolio) but I'm still aware that it could be better...it's still not perfect. Sometimes when I'm sketching on the train I get glimpses...the potential for perfection kind of glimmers like a piece of metal off in the distance. The sun catches it and all though it's pretty far away, that reflection grabs your attention, but as soon as you notice it, it's gone.

But still you are aware of it's existence...so it's not a total loss, I guess.

Anyway, I'll get on with the posting.
