Snoozing on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the AM - she gave me enough to finish this portrait.

Three drawings of lemurs on black paper. At the top a Fork-marked lemur drawn with white gel pen and pastel pencils; in the middle an Aye-Aye - I used yellow stickers for his eyes and metallic pencils for the line work; lastly an Indri lemur - his luminous green eyes are achieved with tempera stick - everything else pastel pencil.

I've been working through the alphabet each week - two letters at a time. This one - M & N - Madagascar and Night. The series has all been about brainstorming A -> Z to produce drawing ideas. It works! #drawing #artclass #lemur #sciart #arttutor

Person riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue, and realizing that some weirdo is sketching them. I have been careless lately, starting at people too intently.

Riding the #MpntrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a cold weekday morning. The size of the hood is not exaggerated; the hoods of most winter jackets are large enough to accommodate tuques, headphones, earmuffs, headbands. or whatever else is necessary to keep people warm.

A couple of unfinished sketches from the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue. This was a short weekend ride.

Unfinished afternoon sketches. I have to time my commutes more carefully. During rush hour, the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue is too crowded, and it is impossible to complete a single sketch.

Nevertheless, it was landscape sketches that forced me to not only rely on outlines but to use shades.

Even though it is landscapes that I want to draw, I have not explored much. I can only sketch during dead time (commutes) so it is usually people that I get to sketch (during metro rides) and only occasionally highways. Hopefully this summer I will find some time.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a Friday morning. I had 10-15 minutes to focus on this person - getting to the Metro around 9:00AM has advantages (more sleep + less people moving around so that I can have a clear view of other riders...)

Thanks Mark. This one came out surprisingly well. It was fortunate that I had a clear view of the guy for 15 minutes; also, I am starting to learn how to use the side of my 5.6mm lead.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the morning. I was hovering over this person, but he was too focused on his phone to notice that I was sketching him

Two people riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a Monday morning. These are clumsy drawings; the models walked away before I was done.

Snowy scene on the highway between #Montreal and #Ottawa. Snow has been piling up on the edges of the road.

Finally! A person reading a book on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue; one so absorbed by the book he was reading that I could draw him unnoticed!

Facemasks still show up on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue, but only on occasion.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a cold afternoon. Warmer days lie ahead, we might go up to -2°C; but first we'll get 15cm of snow...
