Meditating, Wednesday morning, Victoria line, 8th January 2020 – Wilson Yau: I draw, teach and make stuff

A place to rest…

Digital drawing of a scene on the Tube, London — 8th January 2020, 9am Wednesday, Brixton to Oxford Circus stations, Victoria line, London, England

My first Tube drawing of 2020 was started on my return to work from my long Christmas/New Year break. I was struck by the sight of a man meditating, in the midst of the rush-hour crowds he seemed so calm. Around me, were people watching their mobiles or reading newspapers. In a slight distortion of reality, the meditating man was actually sat next to me on my left and I had to look at the reflection to get a frontal view for my drawing.
