Sighting people is a fascinating activity on public transports.
Below is my usual procedure.
Pick a subject that seems interesting and remains relatively stationary.
The subjects may move, but often come back to the original positions or cycle through a small set of configurations while sitting on a train.
Sketch as efficiently as possible without worrying about correctness.
Avoid direct eye contacts with the subjects.
This guy asked me what the train number is, and I said 193.
Sketch from memory of a toddler, whose face was partially blocked by his grandmother.
A sad-looking woman sitting with her dog looks fascinating, but the BART was too crowded for me to draw anything.
So I drew this lady with head scarf within a few seconds.
This double-chinned girl smiled brightly while typing on her cell phone, but turned back to her laptop with a grim expression.
