Drawing in London VI: People!

http://www.carolinadeluca.com/urban-sketching

Traveling with other people who's not sketching, the best moment to draw is usually while commuting. And that's what I did. Sketch people in the train, in the tube, from the airport, to the airport, from the house, to the house... 

Usually sketching people from that close is challenging, because you never know how they will take it if they notice, but I should say that in the train they were mostly all so deeply taken by their screens that they didn't notice a thing. Only one, the second day, he was reading, and with his smile invited me to continue drawing.

So here a small sample of the people in London :)

People in the train, going back home the first day, and to the Harry Potter studios the day after: 



Women in the train to London Bridge, the last day.

PEOPLE IN THE TRAIN,
They look at their phones...
while I draw them
WHO IS HAVING MORE FUN?



A couple of men going to work, in the same train, after I had changed seats looking for some more models...




People in the tube, Piccadilly line to Heathrow, also the last day. We headed towards the airport at around 16:30h, and the tube was full ;)



And, to finish, a little riddle for these two last sketches which are actually in the same double page of my sketchbook:

More people in the tube
All of them looking
   at their phones....
EXCEPT ONE!

Can YOU guess WHO??





And this ends my London series... until next time!
