PS: The lines were made with a ball point gel pen… the blacks were filled in on the spot, while colours were added later in the comfort of the studio. Good practice to make quick gestural studies. I was fortunate enough that day to be able to find a good place where I can sit, sip coffee and look at a traffic crossing. Just recently I decided to try drawing people waiting at the lights. I pay more attention to getting the gesture, clothing, some likeness but not a portrait when I draw. Most people are shy to see what you are doing anyway so I am not worried about drawing attention to myself. I look for people who are engrossed with their phone or something. Normally on a crowded train, I could only spend not more than 5mins on a person. I shall not dwell on a subject for too long or I might attract the person’s attention. If I need to, I will try to look up and down without moving my head, just the eyes. I try not to bob my head up and down too much too, so I am relying on my memory throughout the process of sketching. When I draw people on the train, I will avoid using a big sketch book so I need not spread my arms too much, which will become an intrusion to someone’s space, whether you are seated on standing. The locals would usually raised an eyebrow when I pull my sketchbook out of the bag, then turn a straight face and return to their smart phones soon after. There are some who will turn over and start to look at what you are doing, but they are mostly foreigners, who would walk over or bent over to say hi. Train or subway is a wonderful place to observe people and draw them at the same time. Our bus drivers (in Singapore) are like F1 drivers, in my opinion. I seldom draw on the bus because I will get really giddy. It kinda reminds me of how I draw people on the train too. ![]() A sculpture is often heavy, so we thought, why not lift it?” questions the Swedish artist duo crafting functional objects.There is a hilarious post on how to draw people on subway circulating on FB. Functional objects that are turned into beautiful art pieces, for instance, a dumbbell that is actually a sculpture weights which when stacked, become a colourful vase, and more. The idea came from a desire to create objects that do not need to be hidden away. "The work’s title Objects with a Hidden Agenda describes the concept best. Their ongoing series of durable, sustainable designs, Objects with a Hidden Agenda, is as quirky as resourceful. Can seemingly mono-purpose artefacts or items reshape perceptions of their utility and reignite curiosities in the same reign? Turning the sweat-inducing grind of gymming into a whimsical, homely experience like no other Chef Deco, a young Stockholm-based brand led by Cora Hamilton and Emilie Florin, who create home décor items that double up as pleasant-looking workout equipment that do not necessarily need to be stashed away after use. Amid the mundane, lurking in plain sight, are objects that possess surprising versatility, going beyond the purposes they are originally designed for, transcending their intended functions towards limitless possibilities. ![]()
