I did more on my 'drawings of people on bus' today. I realised that attempting to catch the sense of individualism and identity that I was aiming for in the drawings was challenging for a number of reasons. For one I mainly only get to see the back of people's heads and shoulders or at angles where mainly hair is visible also the movement of the bus can make it hard to get down subtleties of people's character, finally the people themselves are all quite similar all being students in Huddersfield means they are relatively the same age and dressed in similar style clothes for the weather.

I've also started working on a larger scale. I started with some quick sketches to get used to drawing so big. I found it difficult to actually draw figures that were large, whenever I started off I soon realised the drawing would take up only a fraction of the page. I'm starting to get a better hang of it however and have recently been working towards more complete pieces. Here's an example of one at the moment.
