Pages of people-sketching

I decided it was worth putting up some images from my own sketchbooks.

For fifty years I’ve been snatching sketches of people in airports, cafes, hotels, at festivals and concerts. The sketching keeps me sharp, and the results gradually become personal souvenirs of past times.

Most people hold their mobile, which serves to keep them fairly still. It helps.

The top picture is a composite of three pages of biro sketches at Heathrow and Manchester. And the Cahooty picture is amalgamated from a couple of pages. Otherwise I think the rest of the sketches are just pages as they were drawn.
