I love busy places. It kind of clashes with my various autistic sensitivities (noise, light, people!!), but once I'm sketching, I actually think the busier the better. So Heuston Station (Dublin) on a Sunday afternoon was the perfect environment for me. I worked on a page that I had scribbled on in advance, before knowing where we were going. Maybe you find the scribbles distracting, but to me, they add to the energy I felt while sketching. This is one of the main stations in Dublin, serving the Midlands, the whole West coast, and also the South of the country. There were many people coming and going in waves, and many people waiting.
I worked in layers to push and pull, acrylic markers for the people at the front (I just brought a limited number of markers, as you can see), pencils for the people behind. Lots of bins and a bit of the structure. And do you see the man playing the piano in the distance?
After a little break, I did some quick people, mostly checking their phones, with one pen and one marker. I added another marker when I got home.
I think this is all great preparation for One Week 100 People, starting on 9th March (yes, I am weeks behind in posting, but you're used to that, aren't you!
