Shaking It Up: Inducing Variation

So instead of sketching necessarily on the commuter rail or the subway, I have decided to spend 20 - 30 minutes in the Boston South Station each morning in order to observe different postures and positions. This intended to shake up the historical normal sketching venue. Will this inform the Creative Pursuit in the near term? Numerous small kiosks and different business offerings. Lots of cafe tables. Pedestrian traffic abounds. Today was the first day to execute. Most sketches were a disaster. Distances were different. Lots more movement. Shorter time frames to capture anyone. Observing details to portray in the sketch in the manner I have been executing the last couple of months isn't working. It feels like a stumble but not yet a fall. On Nov 13, 13 sketches in 25 minutes. That includes the intervals between the sketches to pick the next model. This will be a challenge to interpret approach. Not much to show.
