This was a very quick sketch, that ended up looking exactly like my model... on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the PM. This guy was not looking at his phone, nor did he seem to notice me sketching him. Jackpot!!!

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.
