These were drawn in Beijing on a Saturday and Sunday in November. while I was riding on Line 10 which runs under the 3rd Ring Road.

The big loop around the city. Line 10 was one stop away from where I lived in 2009, near Line 1.
I’m not sure where I was going or just riding the loop around the city so I could draw.
While drawing on the subway or at a bus stop I would attract a bit of attention, and would end up giving away about half of the drawings.
But hey, I got free models, and was a way to avoiding some people who might otherwise feel offended.

Finding names for the sketches is difficult. If I knew their names I would rather use those. The context of the train ride is the commonality between the sketches.
