I’m well aware that I am a walking art school student cliché, but I love sitting in coffee shops and drawing the people nearby. It’s a nice break from having to think about composition and colour in my usual work - when I draw from observation it’s a lot more automatic and I tend to zone out and stop thinking about what I’m doing. Below are a few pages from my sketchbook post an afternoon in Brick House on Lordship Lane. It was the perfect distraction from the pile of real work sitting on my desk at home.
