Here are more urban sketches of people’s faces on the subway in NYC. They are from my most recent visit there, and I’ve just gotten around to posting them. Drawing on the subway was a nice way for me to feel ‘connected’ to fellow passengers, and a productive way to while away the hours on my commute to and from Grand Central Academy of Art. I used a variety of Micron, Faber Castell, and Prismacolor permanent ink pens. I especially like the super fine point styles which allow for more detail on tiny 1″ head drawings.
