Quick Sketching On The Bus

2013-03-17OnBus1I suffer from motion sickness when I read on the bus.  And the first couple times I tried to sketch on a bus, I had the same problem.  But I’ve persisted and, it seems, I’m becoming able to do quick sketches on the bus.  It’s a bumpy ride on a bus so I’m learning to study the subject as I bounce along, adding lines at the stops.

  1. Good for you for persisting! I like sketching on the bus too — except when I have to stand!

  2. Thanks, Tina. I use buses a lot and sketching…anything…has become an addiction for me. The merger of the two activities was only a matter of time 🙂

    Cheers — Larry
