I am fascinated by watching people draw, probably because I am terrible at it. Love how you have captured the scene, and your subtle use of colour and the bright white highlights just make the whole picture pop.
People watching is one of my favourite pastimes, and I think sadly most people are imitating who they think they should be. This means however, when you catch someone who forgets themselves for a second, adjusting their underwear, or bopping along to their music, or laughing uncontrollably, etc it makes it all the more special.
I think about that a lot. As our screens make us acutely conscious of our appearance and self-image, do we become more like ourselves? Or is everyone imitating the person they think they are supposed to be? Does information help us find ourselves, or do we lose ourselves in the ghosts of people past, present and future?
This right here I have thought about so many times.
Do things "resonate" because we have been programmed for those things to resonate, or it truly learning and societal or self discovery. I think both
I loved that paragraph there and as always your amazing art is moving & drenched in actual documentary depiction of humanity. So interesting! Thanks for sharing your world with us.
Like those who have already commented below, I loved this. For the time I read this and looked, and looked, I was taken all the way to Waterfront station: somewhere I’ve never been, in a city I’ve never visited, in a country I’ve never visited. But I was still there, watching it being drawn. And…you use exactly the same yellow Lamy I use, and love, to write with; coincidence, I know, but still an engaging thought.
This is thoroughly engaging. Nice perspective of Waterfront station, Nishant. Thanks for sharing the process and the ambiance.

Thank you for sharing this.
Amazing! Your observations both made in lines and words are beautiful. I absolutely loved the process images too. Thank you for sharing - inspired.
