Birch trees in Duhamel, QC. Their texture is amazing, and this is all the more apparent in Fall, when they have shed their leaves.

Americano -> Canadiano
We have gone all 'freedom fries' here in Canada... for good reason of course, but still, it is funny.
(I avoid posting photos, but this was too good to pass)

It was -13C so I adjusted my plan and just did the pen outside, the pencil I added by the heat of a goat dung fire inside.

Some people seem to be angry at their phones.... as usual, while riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue

A lake in Duhamel, QC. This is one of these sketches that look much better a few months after I drew it. The lake is surrounded by cedars (junipers really) - It was an overcast day.

I went to work at 9h00 in the morning today, so everyone was more alert than usual on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue... of course everyone was still looking at their phones...

Without seeing the saturated version we will never know which one is better.

Did the shadows or the thin linework come first?

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the AM on a Monday. It was already 9h00, but many passengers were still asleep.

Please do post public transit sketches.

No one could tell what this was, yet it seems obvious to me. It is the back of the head of a passenger on the #MontrealBlueLine ##MontréalLigneBleue...

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the AM. Classes are on and it is too crowded to sketch for most of the way...

I have been swamped lately. I will start commuting to work by Metro next week, which should give me some time to sketch.
