The Commuter as Art Critic

Dramatis personae:
The Commuter/Art Critic
The Subway Sketcher


What are you doing?

What does it look like I'm doing?

Why do you draw everyone like that? They don't look like that.

Like what?

All scribbly, with all those little lines like that. That's not the way I learned.

You sketch too?

I was an art major in high school. Do you think people look that way? I don't draw that way.

Why should you? You're you and I'm me. You don't have to draw like me and I don't have to draw like you...

Yeah, but all those little lines. She don't look like that.

Okay. Fine. Here. You do it.

Oh no, I didn't mean...

Okay. New drawing. Contour drawing. Slow and careful.

That's more like it. That's much better.

Fine. I'm glad you're happy.
