Drawing on the train

During my train ride home, I started drawing a portrait of Tanya for her birthday.

My train conductor curiously watched as I drew and later offered to pose for me. How could I say no? She has a huge grin, and even her eyes smile when she smiles.

Drawn with blue, black, and purple ballpoint pens on my train schedule.

Detail

She’s not the first NJ Transit conductor to pose for me, though. Remember Tony?

    How sweet of you to say! Thank you for your encouragement—I sometimes feel a little silly posting my own personal work.

    That's so awesome of you to sketch them! I'm sure you've made each of their long days/nights! :) I dig her glasses.
  • Her name is Sheila. She had hot pink hair and matching hot pink glasses. A total pleasure to draw!
