drawing things that you observe from a bus window is odd because you don't get to see them from a static viewpoint - you're usually moving past them quite quickly, and you don't get long to really scrutinize them. you have to act/think a bit like a camera and fix their image in your mind and then scribble down what you saw almost as soon as they're gone...
lately i've been getting a bit frustrated when i've done this or any other sort of observational drawing - feeling like i've lost it a bit, that i'm not nearly as good at it as i once was. partly that's down to practice, but also on the bus into leeds yesterday, when i really thought about it, actually my drawing is ok, it's the art of looking that i need to rediscover...
