Mom had cataract surgery on Monday. I saw this interesting-looking guy in the corner alseep, waiting his turn.
I figured he was "sketch worthy" (interesting-looking) and so I snuck a picture of him w/ my camera phone so I could draw from it later. It’s taken me a few days, but I finished it today while at Subway (the restaurant), after finishing my sub. This was done in my Lami Li sketchbook.

Great sketch! You gave me an idea. As I’m always shy to draw people who can realize and get annoyed, I should go search for people who cannot see me… Apart from the joke, really good job. How can you draw in the subway? I tried but my lines get shaken.

Oh, I meant I was at the restaurant “Subway”, not in a subway, LOL. Guess I should clarify!

This is a great post. You are brave taking that photo. It’s a pity you didn’t tell him I’m sure he would have loved to know that he would end up on your blog! You’re right he is a great subject and your finished piece is great too.

Great sketch. I have found doctor waiting rooms hold great models.

This is a great sketch. Even though we cannot see his eyes, you caught the nuances of the man in his body pose. Excellent job!
*I think I like the idea of a camera phone. You can take picture inconspicuously compare to a regular camera.
*How is your mom doing? I hope she is doing well
