Stealing a few moments here and there to make quick sketches... Living on the #MontrealBlueLine Je prends quelques instants ici et là pour faire des croquis rapides... J'habite sur #MontréalLigneBleue
I was not disciplined today while drawing people riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue; too many colors
Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a Thursday morning. This came out looking like a negative.
This time I was disciplined enough to stick to only two colors! I think this sketch conveys the ambience of the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue (not because it is blue...)
Still too saturated... I have turned the riders the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBlue into clowns, and the sketches do not capture the ambience setting (it is depressive in a sweet way). I have to be not disciplined - I keep telling myself I should only use two colors, but I get carried away....
Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue while staring at a phone - with only a hint of color. It is not working for me. I should only use one or two colors, otherwise I turn my models into clowns.
My midday ride did not afford me much more time (I was on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue for only two stops), but I did manage to focus on essential things, without getting lost in details.
Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a Monday morning. It was rush hour, and I could not get a clean look for more than a minute per person... very frustrating...
I am back into my comfort zone, drawing people on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue with graphite
Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a rainy Friday morning. Too much color contrast here... I should probably create more gradients.
Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MintréalLigneBleue on a very early morning. When drawing with color, I need more time. Rush hour is not the time to do it, because people move too much, and I get a clear view for a couple of minutes max.
Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a very late Wednesday morning. I will be forcing myself to draw with color pencils these weeks. Is there any other (easier) way to learn how to draw with color other than trying it out? The result is not great, it does not resemble my subject...
I took a long break from the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue because I was communicating by bike, but I am back!!! Drawing people who are staring at their phones & are oblivious of their surroundings. I need to work myself back into form.
A large poplar (trunk diameter was about 1.5m) at La Fontaine Park #Montréal on a sunny summer day. Posting these because fall weather is upon us, and I want to reminisce.
Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a (still summer weather but I now know winter is coming) Friday morning.
