I LOVE the pictures where you have your drawing in focus and then the real-world subject of your drawing in the hazy background. This is done particularly well in the one with the woman wearing her mask while riding the bus.

That's good to know, Cole! I do it as another way to preserve people's privacy. :)

In most cases, I'm sure they'd be flattered, but good call 👍

I believe the drawings are flattering, but unsolicited pics can be intrusive more often than not. :)

Ah, right after I commented on another post of yours about it takes discipline to focus on the essentials, there’s now this great post explaining further about it. How timely! I’ve enjoyed understanding more about how you approach a drawing. Thanks!

I'm very happy to hear that, Alison! It's difficult to gauge which part of my work people are interested in knowing *more* about. I'll think more along the lines of process going forward.
