A man I saw one night

While walking home from my girlfriend one night, I caught a glimpse of this character. He looked like he could be something like 25, but he radiated the impression of an elderly man. He wore a sixpence (the right way, not backwards which I remember was very cool some years ago), had a large coat and was walking with a cane. Additionally, he carried a bag from “Deli de Luca” somewhat in a strange manner. I guess there was some sort of food in the bag, he didn’t want to spill or wave around, but it still looked rather special.

I only looked at this person for a split second, but the impression was so strong. When I got home, I drew this drawing on my computer. Most of the things I draw these days are on the computer. I like painting the most, because of the colors and brushes. Drawing on the computer can be much like painting, if you got a tablet like the Wacom. Compared to the real deal, it’s not the same, but it has other qualities weighing up for the differences. It is faster, simpler and less messy than real paints, but still very flexible.

Have you seen any strange characters lately? If so, you could draw and share them. Then you’ll be able to remember them for times to come.
