A skydive from 16000ft lasts only one minute. In that precious time you can screw up in a hundred different ways. There are a thousand different ways to screw up a drawing in one minute, and this is a catalog of a few. I shall draw you on the beaches, on the landing grounds and on the hills, and I shall never surrender. And you will comment on how "Meh, it's ok but it doesn't really look much like me", 'cause everyone's a critic, goddamit!

chiaroscuro
This one was actually on the Lisbon-Braga trip. It was night, and the carriage was much emptier then. He was the only subject around and I couldn't get a straight angle on his face, so I had to draw his reflection on the window instead, which gave him a sort of chiaroscuro look. I believe he spotted me once or twice but we didn't speak. From his furrowed brow I could see he was concentrating on something, so I just let him be...
He was a curious looking fellow with a slightly mad, slightly lonely aspect. I wondered where he was going, all alone. I had the impression he was wondering the same.

Muito provavelmente pensava realmente o mesmo que tu... Pela expressão, parece... Muito bom, o desenho e CERTAMENTE muito parecido...
por acaso acho que este é dos melhores que já vi teus. acho que está mesmo bem conseguido...
Olá Inês :)
O modelo também ajudava, já que
dava-se a uns ares muito dramáticos :)
E o comboio é mesmo um sítio excelente para desenhar....
Obrigado pelo teu comentário! Vai passando por cá, deve estar a sair uma fornada de desenhos novos nos próximos dias...
Um abraço
