iPad drawing

The interior of Herne Hill station, despite it’s beautiful Neo-Gothic brick exterior, is hideous. Probably from the 1970s, it’s all yellow and brown tiles with no original features. It has a payphone, an odd sight now when most people have mobile phones. I feel almost like I could go back in time make a call to the 1990s when I last used a payphone.

This drawing took a while to do, about two weeks. I made a sketch on my iPhone whilst I was waiting for a friend in Herne Hill station. I made a more detailed drawing later on an iPad, the work above is the completed result.
