I Saw This Person Today

One thing I love to do is draw in airports. I was at JFK this morning and had planned to draw someone before boarding. The problem was, I got to the airport with very little time to draw! But I got something, and I thought it might be fun to see all my attempts in this video below.

Standing in line waiting to board, at first I thought I’d try to capture this woman in the photo. I snapped the pic in case I wasn’t able to finish the drawing in time and could reference the color of her jacket. I liked the way she was at the edge of the wall. I am not sure what she was doing, except it appeared she may have been a security person—but I don’t know what she was guarding!

But then I realized I was in the wrong line, so had to hurry and move to the right line. I tried drawing another woman but aborted it soon after starting because I saw the woman I finally drew. Here is the video.

Just as I finished, our line started moving and I didn’t even properly finish the video, or put on my signature. It was fast moving line! I added my name when I got on the plane. It was all very exciting.

So quickly done, this sketch is almost abstract. The woman was buried in bags.

I hope you had a nice Friday! I am now in LA for a family gathering. The weather is beautiful, a lovely change from the wet and cold of NY for a few days!
