An American illustrator Betza has done a series of reportage illustrations based on his commute on the subway and also at a concert of one of his favourite bands, Neutral Milk Hotel.
I'm still undecided if I want to incorporate this on site style of drawing for my project. I get carried away trying to get a polished look to my illustrations, which you can only achieve through longer periods at a sketch book......certainly not the seconds you get to capture someone on stage, or before someone realises you are drawing them while they're sat on the train journey home.
I do admire the gutsy nature of this form of illustration though....and something keeps on bringing me back to looking at the simple lines of all the reportage illustrators I've been looking at.

To be able to do this style of drawing for my project is going to prove a little more taxing in regards to drawing at The Attic, due to the exotic nature of the club, but other subjects such as Heidi whom I meet at her mothers house, may prove easier to study.
