Practice 2

This one taken from a scene from ‘Honeydripper’.

Rope

Just practising, using a still from a film I found online. Name that film!

Desk Buddies

These guys sit over on the row to my left, look at them working hard. I did a quick sketch and painted it on the train journey home. Then saw them again the next day and did some re-painting…

Tumblr

I started a Tumblr. Just to see what happens... www.bradsilby.tumblr.com

Snow

Christmas Break

A few travellers from November.

Seiler

Jason Seiler came into work a few weeks ago to give a masterclass on how he creates his realistic caricatures, it was a great talk with a lot of good info. It must have made an impression as I painted instead of sketched on the way home from it - this man was sat opposite me on the train, I think I worked on it for about 20 mins.

Nowhere near Seiler quality, but it was fun to do.

Leaves on'track

Cancellation

I spied the lady through a gap in the seat opposite, she was holding an apple in her mouth as she looked for something. A nice change to the usual phone fiddlers.

Winter timetable

Signal failure

Standing room only

Overcrowding

A bit of colour

Playing with the watercolour brush in Procreate.

Strong Jaw

Another face on the train.

Girls

I didn't see these on'train, they were on my telly last night in the HBO show 'Girls'.

All Aboard

I'm really enjoying drawing on the iPad, there's something about drawing digitally that removes the pressure to create a great image. I find it easier to relax and just enjoy it. This is a comp of some past sketches of my fellow commuters.

Brush Pen

A few more faces from the 08.07.
