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 Reading Magazine Waiting for Wife and Woman Across the Room
I sketched the man while he and his wife were waiting. I did not know who had an appointment until the lady got up and left when her name was called. The man remained in ‘couple mode’, his legs together, as if respecting the space of his now-absent wife. Across the room was another figure, […]
Lone Woman in Waiting Room
I sketched this scene with a pencil that was harder than the one I used yesterday (4B used yesterday, HB used today). Making easy-to-see marks with a harder pencil takes more pressure than it does with a softer pencil. I don’t work well with harder marks, so the drawing below is not that easy to […]
Man, Wife and Sketchy Character
I saw this couple adorable couple in the waiting room. They were very cozy, and I had a long time to draw them. I even took some time to render the plant. Another man sat down next to them. He was only there for a short time, so he is just a sketch.
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.
People Waiting for Doctor Appointments
Sketching people in the waiting room is a crap shoot. One never knows when the subject will be called into the inner sanctum. Therefore one must draw the essential elements as quickly as possible, for example, the angle of the elbow; tilt of the head; the distribution of weight and so on.Static details such as […]
