Empty train seats
This kind of subject matter always looks so interesting on other illustrated blogs, but I think it’s turned out just the way it looked in real life — unutterably dull.

This is a place where I regularly post personal artwork, good, bad or indifferent.
The characters that crop up regularly in this blog are daughter – Flo, eldest son – Tom, second son – Hugo and third son – Xavier.
I'll try to reply wherever you comment but if I don't it's only because I'm overwhelmed with caring for my family and earning a living.
And talking about earning a living, if you need a good all round graphic designer please visit my business website to see if I can help you.
If you want to buy prints of anything you see here or have any requests please send an email to julie at julieoakleydesign dot com

Very, very good.
The angles are just right.
There's something about these empty train seats that tells a story--so maybe that's why the drawing has more power to the viewer than it does to the artist (who was there). I appreciate that you did all the perspectives and angles so well!
Thanks Nita and Finlay. And Nita maybe you have a point there. I do so often enjoy the drawings of mundanity by other people.
I know what you mean, though I like the drawing. A person or some trash left on the seat would add a focal point ;D.
I disaagree, you have some nice shapes, negative spaces and colours here and your shading provides some interesting texture. Also your draughtsmanship is faultless.
