Faces in Places

I've been doing a fair bit of travelling recently; taking my sketchbook about with me to practice sketching during my downtime. I realise now why there's so prevalent a cliché of illustrators drawing on trains.

The challenge is getting faces without people noticing you staring at them. Easier when they're further away, but harder to see details.

Whilst working on the animation project, in the wake of my drawing trip to Birmingham, I created this short animation from my train tickets and recordings I made while travelling/in the station.
