Heading to work this morning in the wintry darkness, everyone was huddled around their glowing little screens, as if getting warmth from the gadgets in their hands.

Just too good..
Damn you Bustracker app with your incredibly helpful and timesaving ways… now I have no time to sketch my local bus stop… 😉 @on_lothianbuses
Still I like the free flowing doodle style that these 10 secoond sketches can achieve – I hope you do too.
Steamy windows
From my bus journey to work yesterday morning this sketch shows just how crowded the bus was and how rainy and damp it was outside. The windows are all steamed up with condensation so I have to wipe a space clear to see just how rainy and damp it really is out there.
Bus and bargain
Thankfully the bus came to my stop shortly after I arrived this morning. I had however just started to sketch the queue.
Instead or rather as well as, I drew the ticket, which today has the added offer of £3 off a ticket to see The Snowman this winter at the Festival Theatre.
I kept hold of mine.
big feardy
It was a bit windy today, and still is by the looks of it so I left the two wheeler under the stairs and headed to work via the number 8 bus. One thing the bus gives you is sketch time. I sat right at the front and concentrated on the corner looking out of the window.
Time flies when your wanting just a few more minutes, and before I knew it we’d turned past The Balmoral and onto the North Bridge. Time to ring the bell.
Street furnishings #1
Here’s today’s sketch and the pen who helped draw it; a grey fineliner I purchased from paperchase yesterday.
I was waiting for the bus, which I am now heading into town on, when I noticed the school street sign. I like the lights underneath, all the intricate lines that go to make up the object.
Hearts celebrate
Congratulations to Hearts for lifting the Scottish Cup at the weekend, and commiserations to Hibernian who were runners up in the all Edinburgh final at Hampden. Although I missed the celebratory bus tour through Edinburgh on Sunday I thought I should mark the achievement by one of our teams with a sketch. I found a great picture on flickr taken by Stuart Montgomery, HERE is the original photograph.
Ticket to ride
With my bike still in need of repair I travelled to work on the @on_lothian number 8 bus this morning. I hope to take the bike into Bicycle Works this weekend, thanks @cocteautriplets for the recommendation.
With journey time on my hands I was looking round for something to sketch, and decided upon a couple of tickets I found in my pocket. By the time I looked up again the bus was just reaching the top of Broughton Street. Sketch done.
Enjoy your Friday everyone. 🙂
Bus ride to work
The bus ride to work today, very damp and very bumpy. The blue pen works well in the rain! Have a good day Edinburgh.
Number 14 to town
A wet day in Edinburgh today, this was the view from my seat on the number 14 bus up the Bridges.
