Sleeping

Tem havido tanto que fazer ultimamente, que me tenho visto obrigada a trabalhar até tarde quase todos os dias. Encontrar tempo para uma sesta, ou para ler meia dúzia de páginas antes de dormir tornou-se um luxo. Talvez tenha sido por isso que senti vontade de desenhar este homem, que dormia no avião uns lugares à frente do meu, na semana passada. Eu tinha estado a fazer exactamente o mesmo até aí, mas acordei com as rajadas de vento que abanavam o avião. Como não consegui voltar a adormecer, decidi tirar o caderno da pasta, para que não chegasse ao fim da viagem por abrir.

There's been so much do do in the past weeks, that I've been working late almost every day. Finding time for a nap, or a bit of reading before going to sleep has become a rare luxury. Maybe that's why I felt compelled to sket this guy, who was sleeping in the airplane ahead of me last week. I had been doing exactly the same until that moment, but woke up due to the strong wind gusts that were shaking the plane. Since I was unable to get back to sleep, I decided to take out my sketchbook, so that it wouldn't come to the end of the trip unopened.

  1. I love how you seize the moment and sketch everything. Hope you can get some rest soon.

  2. A great sketch again...the plane is one of the most "at ease" places to draw people without them noticing you.
