A few weeks ago it was snowing and I had an errand I had to run so I rode the bus downtown. I thought it would be a great opportunity to do some sketching . I found myself a seat behind this kid and I just had to draw his hair. Luckily he didn’t move much and he sat there for my whole ride. I was glad that I had my cool and warm gray Pitt brush pens with me. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to do the hair justice, but it was great fun! I like to imagine that he knew I was sketching away behind him and was secretly pleased.

What a great sketch! Love the hair. It’s hard to do, for me, anyway. I like the overall sketch, tho. A lot of character!

Great detail on the hair! Lucky you had your pens with you. And very brave of you to sketch on the bus.

Thanks Krista. Sometimes when I sketch in public I just pretend I’m invisible. Often it seems to work. 😀

That is a great sketch Mellanie. You have captured the back of a young kid’s head really well and the hair is excellent. You are too hard on yourself.
