People give off different vibes when out in the crowd, this fellow didn’t seem too friendly, and I had to draw him with caution. On the plus side, he turned out to be an excellent model; only moving slightly, to turn the pages of his newspaper.
Perhaps, he’d just worked out what I was doing, became irritated, and chose to ignore me. Or maybe he was returning my unfriendly vibes, I know that I frown when I’m drawing.

Great drawings – and fascinating subject.
Thank you Nova Scotia History, good to have a Bluenose drop in. And a fellow historian, I say fellow because I like digging up the past; tried to find the Icelandic settlements in Mooseland, N.S. last year. Good luck with your blog! Russell.
I scowl when I’m drawing too. I think that’s why people leave me alone!
Ah ha! I’m usually left alone too. Think we’ve hit upon something here. Enjoy the rest of your week-end, Russell.
Nice belly! Sorry, I keep looking from his frown to his belly. It’s a great portrait, should make him smile if he looked at it :P
Usss! If he saw it, he’d most likely bend all my fingers backwards!
Thank you for commenting. Russell.
Thanks for putting that image into my mind, urgh :P
Always best to be cautious, he kinda looks like he’s smuggling something under coat. Really like it
Too true, too true. Your right he does look like a smuggler. Glad you liked the drawing, and thanks for dropping in ;-)
I really like the style of your illustrations – love the lines =)
Thanks Ana, sometimes I half panic when I post something new, and there’s nothing but silence for what seems like a long time. But, thanks to you, I feel reassured. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Russell.
