Quick subway sketch

I haven’t been sketching on the El much recently, but I’m hoping to get back into the game.  Who needs a sketchbook when I always seem to have random scraps of paper in my pockets?

This is via Nick Campbell, who runs the blog Greyscalegorilla.com.  Nick has been on a tear lately and consistently has awesome photography, motion graphics, videocasts, and tutorials up on his site.  This is one of a few slow motion videos he and his coworkers at Digital Kitchen shot with a camera that captures 1000 frames per second.  Check out the others that he posted on his blog as well.  Great stuff.

Hold on to that snow hat with the awesome ear flaps just a little bit longer.  The end is just around the corner.  Right?

Partway there

It can be frustrating when your subject suddenly shifts their position or heads for the door of the train.  I’ve begun to view this as a kind of cool opportunity to see whether I can salvage the sketch and give it some new direction.  I like this new challenge as it adds something interesting to the game and forces me to deal with what I have in a way I wasn’t anticipating.
