Sleeping at the Pasteur Metro

I was in a rush from somewhere to somewhere, and then saw this guy sleeping beside the chairs in the Metro station.
It looked so graphic, the black leather and pants with the white hands tucked in between his legs for warmth, alongside the white teeth of the chairs in the black mouth of the huge ad.
His horizontal position vs. the chairs that invite a vertical one.

While I drew him, I had to take long breaths, since Metros passed in both directions between us.

No one sat on the chairs while he was there.

A security guard gently woke him up, and left, he woke up, opened his eyes, looked around, lay in the same position for two more minutes, and left (there was a Metro passing, I didn't see where he want).

When he disappeared, the newly-arriving passengers sat in the chairs...

Emotion in motion

Working with a group brings joyful challenges...
While I am at ease with drawing the outside, others are masters of drawing the inside.

Here are some samples of my attempts of these two sessions... (and other's!)

First one - drawing music:
Everyone brought a song, and we drew the song while hearing it.
Note: below each drawing - the link will take you to the music!
Note#2You can visit a fellow drawer with same songs from same session here.

Fever Ray - Keep the streets empty for me.

A song sang by Mari,
A song of joy by a tribe in the rainforest.
