made from drawings done on a trip into town to see 'the lone and level sands', a community play in leeds parish church.
simon hall was there, and gave me a lift home [one less journey to document - ha!]
the text is getting better on these, and i'm not really using a scalpel or knife to cut the lines dead clean now, just the lino tools, which is good i think.
i drew a load of windows this time [i like the architecture in leeds - when you start to look up there are some amazing and very lovely details and designs going on, often in unusual places]
i wanted to sketch some shop fronts too, but the bus was moving to quick and whereas i used to be able to look at something and fix the details in my mind's eye very quickly [drawing them immediately afterwards] i'm out of practice these days and need more time to draw that sort of stuff...
the bus stop was interesting - illuminated inside, with a shadowy figure heralding the bus from the doorway. the guy in the hat was a well-wrapped-up workman in harehills. there's also an asian guy in a cap [again, well protected against the cold] and a youth who hung from the dangling hand-support things, both passengers on the bus.
the bus itself is ok, possibly not as well-executed as the headingley single-decker in no.5 though...
i'm a lot happier with the inking on this one. that's very definitely improving now...
and it was very, very cold.
