This time I planned the music! Be sure to turn your sound on and notice what song I chose. Unfortunately, it cuts out half-way through creating the drawing, due to lack of wifi in a certain section of Manhattan’s long A train route. This woman was lovely in her yellow jumpsuit. As soon as she got on the train, I thought, she’s getting drawn!
What is great to see is just because a line is drawn or a colour chosen doesn’t mean that it’s there for the finished drawing. BTW: I’ll not call your drawings cartoons! 🙏👏👏🍾🥂
It's humbling for a writer to see that, with a few skillfully place lines a talented illustrator can achieve what it would take 10,000 words to convey. And even if words could somehow reproduce what you so in this drawing, it still would have the emotional impact. I love to write, am in an endless search for words and phrases that provide new ways of seeing familiar things. Your drawings are masters at that.
Blayney, You are very kind. I personally love what drawing can do and how it often is hard to explain....I see it in others' work and love it when I do see it. These subway drawings are a personal favorite, I love capturing people in their daily life and doing normal things...I try to get their essence.
Thank you! I wish I could do these digital ones so that there are "originals." I do make prints sometimes if people ask. I am drawing on paper every now and then on the subway...
Well, you captured her. BTW I saw Barbie yesterday and I’m still digesting the experience. There were some hilarious lines. I fell asleep during the first half (my solution to overstimulation).
Love it ! The drawing ✍️ the music 🎶 and you! 👧
Thank you, Joyce!

Thanks!
Affirming the comment by Joyce!!! Fully....
:):)
Duke Ellington? Glen Miller? Love that these (drawing and music) go hand in hand! Lovely
The Duke!! Thank you.

Stomping at the Savoy? Anyway, love it, as usual. When I read "Jumpsuit," though, I was thinking of another person and another color: orange. xo
Take the A Train! close! Haha, that's funny re orange jumpsuit. Agreed!
“... she’s getting drawn.” 😁
🙄😊
Glenn Miller was a favorite of mother. Hope I got that right. My memory fades.
This was Duke Ellington. They all were amazing.
If I were that woman I'd buy your drawing, frame it and give it pride of place in my house! It's stunning 💛

Love it! A beautiful dignified woman in overalls!
She was, and is, I'm sure!

Yes, there were some hilarious lines. Particularly for Ryan Gosling.
So lovely. It made me imagine watching a whole animated movie done like this.
That's nice, Jonathan. I can picture it too!
