Thanks Martin. This was a really great place to draw. I sat up in a narrow gallery that belongs to a café next door, here I could draw away unnoticed by the customers milling around below. You must have your own favorite spots to draw on the underground. Looking forward to your next post, Russell.
Thanks Hansi, I wish I could press a button and freeze time, hang on that what they use cameras for….
but that wouldn’t be as much fun.
The woman in the centre was no problem she was doing something at the table and stayed in the same place more or less. The girl opposite with the stripey jumper chatted to her for a while so I caught her too then she migrated far left and stood chatting to someone else, she appears twice in the same picture.
The others are customers who got engrossed in something long enough for me to catch them.
Strange how I remember all this, good luck with your auction, Russell.
Thankyou Jacqueline & thanks for the explanation too! So that’s what that thing’s for and it’s called a swift. I have no idea what a skein is though. The dark art of knitting is a mystery to me, Russell.
awesome detail sketches!
Thank you Michael!
Wow WEE! I love your work…going to subscribe…right…now…
Thankyou Magill! I’m flattered to get a ‘Wow WEE!’ & another subscriber to boot!! Russell.
Great drawing Russell, so much going on. I was in a wool shop at the weekend, I didn’t think to get my sketchbook out, maybe I will next time.

Thanks Chiman!
awesome! You have captured the mood of everyone in your drawing perfectly! Very nice line work too!
looks very much like the shop across the street from my screenprinting studio in berlin :)
…maybe there’s one in every city. Happy monster making over there in Berlin, Russell.

Your way of drawing is very interesting, I love wool shop ! Boulderiz
Merci beaucoup Boulderiz. J’aime vos dessins aussi, Russell.
Just great stuff. I love your Blog!
Thankyou very much Errol & thanks for dropping in, Russell.
Really nice drawing. Multiple figures in a crowded room. How’d you get them all to stand still while you drew?

This is great, love the angle and the sense of bustle. Fab.
Thankyou emmamiranda. I remember the headache I got from drawing this one, Russell.
Yes I can imagine! But you’ve made it look simple..
Wonderful. I love wool. Great job on the swift — such a complicated apparatus! (It’s the spidery thing for winding skeins into balls.)
