corner view ≈ hair




·
i once had a friend who painted hairdos. he exhibited his tableaus and made him some name. 
·

·
on my commuter into the city, i've taken to drawing hair myself. whenever i see hair that intrigues me, i sketch the outlines into my booklet.
· 

·
i work quickly for i don't know when the person will get off the train. {the model in question doesn't know he/she is being drawn. for privacy reasons, i don't usually draw facial features, unless...}.
·

·
{... the occasional profile}. 
·
before long and in a mildly meditative state {tongue in cheek, or else pressed between lips. yes.}, i push lines into a coiffure. 
·

·
seemingly hair is also leading me back to corner view. 
·
hello!

    hello and welcome back! as a child, i had a puzzle which was very similar to your #1 - oddly, it was surprisingly easy to put it together!

    My husband carries a sketchbook with him when we travel and likes to do fast drawings during our adventures, including interesting people we come upon. I love your portraits - great job!

    Elvis!!! I like the thought of sketching hair. I tend to sketch eyes in long meetings. Next time I will try hair. (And hopefully NOT get caught by someone who outranks me!)

    Great hobby! I know it's fun doing sketches from other train users, I already did that, too! The first is my favourite, not only for the hairdo, but I love the atmosphere in it. I have to say I prefer those without any face, they have a strange certain mood, that I can't put into words, but makes me stop and stare on them. Go on, I'd love to see more!
