    doesn't it feel weird to be sitting in a public place and sketching people? do they think you're odd for watching them? i do subway drawings on the sly (cause that's how i learned) but i actually haven't ever thought about going to the library or to a coffee place and drawing the people there.

    you have really good capturing capabilites to get something really quickly even if the line isn't the one you want and just laying down the image. it's also good that you don't neglect the space too much because it helps set the figure/story. so you draw and then work on the colour afterwards or you draw and colour at the cafe?

    Hi, Lae!
    Thanks so much for the comments! I dont really feel weird about it anymore because i do it so much.

    Thanks! I normally do colour afterwards if i even do color.

    yeah that's what i do also. i think it's much safer that way although i've taken to picking colours (bought some coloured pens) and i just sketch on the subway with them. anyways just know that you've inspired me to get off my butt and go outside and just draw whatever i see instead of sticking safe with landscapes and the such. i saw a squirrel the other day trying to drink his way into one of those coconut water (con leche) cans on my route home and i always thought i should draw it. well now i will. thanks yates! oh and i read your post about chiustream and the other podcasts and i'm entering a whole new world of artists online. it's neat.
