Midnight Train to Manhattan


I cant get enough of reworking this sketch I did here a few posts back of the solitary woman with the big boots on the train. My heart went out to her I guess because she's like so many women here in the city who have to travel the trains alone at night and risk encountering undesireable people. She definitely had her game face on, as I recall, and those BOOTS! Let's just say you wouldnt want them to connect with a certain part of your anatomy...

Thanks Sean. This is on of my faves as I said, which is why I kept reworking it. I remember looking at her and thinking, "man, this chick is ready to go to war with you if you step into her territory! LOL" I guess she had to be that way traveling alone at night like that.

I also thought it was time for me to start adding a little more "context" to my subway drawing. They ARE taking place in the subway after all, and drawing the environment can only enhance the mood of these pieces.
