192. Waiting

Four seasons or four minutes? Waiting for buses can feel like an eternity.

This came about from many different ideas, but mostly after travelling to a remote part of Scotland, where buses come every two and half hours… And true to Scottsh weather, it went through rain/sun cycles every five minutes.

Wanting to do something with seasons I visited an old image and expanded on it. It felt quite daunting to do at the beginning (as do a lot of images recently… so I thought I’d go the quicker route of big and (dirty?) fun outlines.

For some reason I keep telling myself pictures are better without outlines, but in reality the imapct is still here, if not more with them. I’m constantly having to remind myself what I personally find appealing in my and other peoples illustrations rather than worrying about how technically good it might be.

Lesson learnt.

Waiting for buses... and, Image #100!
