Man with Hat in Orthopedic Waiting Room
This was an efficient waiting room. I had to sketch very quickly.

Girl Reading Cell Phone While Waiting
Yesterday, I posted a series of small, quick studies of a young lady reading her cell phone in a waiting room. Below is a more careful sketch of the same person.
Woman in Wheelchair Waiting with Home Aid and Daughter
Sometimes people wait in isolation. Others wait in groups, as this trio below.
Husband Waiting for Wife Who Probably Had Her Eyes Dilated
People in waiting rooms for eye doctors generally fall into two categories: dilatees and those waiting to drive them home. Below is a portrait of the latter.
Man in Sharply-Ironed Clothes
The gentleman across the way was wearing the sharpest shirt and trousers I have ever seen. And I do mean sharp! I don’t think that his clothes were starched, or they would have cracked when he moved. I was thinking about working some more on this drawing. I would concentrate the straight lines of the […]
Woman Reading Magazine Before Eye Dilation
At first I lightly sketched the figure. I don’t know why, but I always seem to start with the arms. I also spend time on the head tilt and its relationship to the shoulders. I finished with enough time to include some of the furniture, and to darken the lines of the woman. I’m pretty […]

Man with Knobby Knees
The man in the shorts was brave. He joined us in the waiting room at about 6:30 in the morning. Just the thought of cold naugahyde on my bare legs is enough to make my skin crawl. There were others waiting as well, so I had a chance to practice my face sketching.
