Ink in Moleskine
I didn’t leave work until 8:30 p.m. Thursday night so I had a longer wait than usual for a BART train, since it was after regular commuting hours. I saw this guy waiting too and had to sketch him. I don’t know what he could have been doing with his phone but he was completely mesmerized by it and didn’t move at all for the five minutes I was drawing him before the train came.
Once onboard I drew these guys who each stood in the same spot, rode one stop, and got off, to be replaced by the next guy. So I guess these were about about one to two minute quick sketches.
I’m feeling a little rusty sketching on BART because for the past couple of months I’ve been using my 13 minute subway ride to read books on oil painting and composition and haven’t been sketching as much. It was good to get back to it.

Great use of time … those short one or two minutes we all encounter. I seldom take advantage of them, but that is a great idea. If those would have been my sketches, you wouldn’t even be abe to tell if they were people .

Nice sketches Jana. you’ve captured the intense concentration of the man with his phone..he is clearly oblivious of what’s going on around him!
