Sad hatter.

Shortdoo.

Hatted snooze.

Onlooking.

havent really posted sketches of folks on the bus because i haven't been using the bus lately. but i was today :)

Little angry.

i think i drew a cyclops.

Driver rants.

Old spotty.

though we did not exchange glances or words,
he seemed charming to me.

Mercy me!

track jacket + a near upskirt.

Another sleeper.

Stay studying.

only a couple more weeks of school left &
jesus i still have herra things to do.

Steady naps.

Nervous curls.

today i definitely feel like a creeper. the girl i drew was already looking kinda nervous; she kept scratching/tapping on her notepad, stopped a couple moments to stare off at something, and mouthed/whispered to herself. maybe stressing over an upcoming test? i sat adjacent with my sketchbook on my lap, head down with my sunglasses on--and theyre the ones that you can barely see through.

but i think it was still pretty obvious what i was doing.

Her colors.

& a cheetah backpack.

Binder status.

i don't see many folks with binders anymore. they were the utmost necessity in middle & highschool for sure.

Mole-y girl.

i rode home with janine today. as she was talking about the dramarama around her lately, i tried to draw the girl sitting across from us while i listened. she was busy reading, looking directly down at her book, but i drew her as if she was staring right at us. haha. i had to maneuver around some folks to draw the rest of her; which made me look pretty damn suspicious. hence, the "youre a creeper!" scribbled note from janine. we;re not calling you a creeper, mystery girl!

Morning snooze.

i didn't want to startle her if she wakes up with me staring at her, so i used her reflection as reference :)

Backpack bangs.

this isn't much of a sketch since i only had literally 5 minutes to start and finish. i usually bike to work but it was raining yesterday, so i took the bus; which is a super quick ride.

i couldnt help but want to sweep those bangs out of her face. that wouldve been reaaally awkward though. she already looked nervous as is clinging to her backpack.

Bright yellow headphones.

we got on the same bus but he sat all the way in the front. im more of the backofthebussitter. so i drew what i could. he looked pretty concentrated on something. was staring down most of the time. whatever it was, he got over it; smiles and all.

those headphones were amazing though.

i couldnt help but rearrange the letters (hahah don't sue me)--
but can you recognize the true brand?

M-coffee.

somebody stood in front of her before i could finish. +but then again none of my sketches are really complete anyway/

Enjoying commutes.

i never really had a problem with taking the bus, but ive been looking forward to it lately. like i hope i get a good stranger to draw today--hoping i'd finish before i get off my stop, or before they get off theirs.

this guy was an artist himself. he had one of those wumbo clipboards on hand, but had a newsprint sheet covering whatever he had clipped down. halfway through the ride, he started drawing too. hence the pen tucked in his hat.
