After a few days of drawing the same buildings over and over again I started to feel a bit of a pointlessness and lack of direction to my work. To combat this I wondered if I would feel differently about my work if I bought figure into it a bit as that is the kind of art I like to do most. I did a few ordinary drawings of people around the train station but had similar issues with the work.

I then had the idea of drawing the outline of people in my photos and then drawing the train station within the outline. To the left is my first piece doing this. I really liked the effect of this and am going to continue exploring this general idea.
I like how the emptiness of the space outside the figure contrasts with inside the figure which is full of information. I also like to think of the figure as a sort of window, one of my course mates said that because the figure is moving it makes you feel like the inside should be moving as well, think looking at buildings outside of a moving car window. I also like the obvious switch of a building being inside a person when usually a person is inside a building.
