People Sketching

On the way to meet the NYC Urban Sketchers at the museum I was on one line of the NYC subway. The ride on that section was short...only about 30 minutes. I did manage to sketch a few people. FYI it is much easier to sketch people on the subway rather than the Long Island Railroad. On the subway most of the time there are people sitting directly across from you (if standing passengers aren't blocking your way). On the railroad there are two center seats that face each other and the rest of the seats are in rows behind them, with high backs that you can't really see over.



After our sketching in Bowling Green Park we went to a local bar/restaurant for drinks or food if desired. While we were waiting to be served the sketchers usually sketch each other. This was a visitor from England who joined us for the day.


Here are a few of the other sketchers who were seated across from me. I only sketched a few and I think we had at least 14 people there to share their work.

Subway Sketches

Last Sunday I took the NYC subway into Manhattan. The ride was long enough for one bigger sketch and a page of smaller ones.



Tracy is still busy over on my "fake" blog.

Train Sketches

Of course to get into the city to sketch at FAO Schwarz and by Central Park I had to get into the city. My friend, Susan, and I took the subway from Kew Gardens. Subway sketching is always interesting.

Here are sketches done last Saturday.



This one was done when I went in to sketch the Intrepid. I was planning to sketch all the people across from me until we made a stop and someone stood right in front of me. I included her reading in the right section...sans head. lol
