Very funny.

I was going to say I hope that nobody really exists with a nose like that... I love the spiders web on the guy since he has been there so long.

Great stuff Lewis. Just got back from the same. Must be my age, but I can't understand the teenage/twenty trend of having half their hair blocking their vision? Do they think they look alluring...or just plain gormless? ..(-:

They’re great, Lewis. I had an appointment at the hospital a few weeks ago......I wish I’d taken my sketchbook, they were running 40 minutes late!

You do see some strange people in waiting rooms Lewis but I've never seen anyone with such a 'swollen' nose ha ha! Brilliant work as always. Hope your wife is OK.

I spend so long in hospitals at the moment plus I always have a sketch book . These are not the usual inhabitants Lew. But a great way to pass time .

Good use of the time. Love the little spider!

Great thoughts. The other day at the surgery I wished I'd had a tape recorder for all the sighs and mumblings. Reminded me of a track on Simon and Garfunkel's "Bookends" album with the background voicestalking about their health problems.

Thanks for all your comments. I rarely sketch outdoors, and these hardly represent that activity...I was just doodling to pass the time. I wouldn't sketch actual patients waiting for treatment...that doesn't feel right with me...but I shall certainly do more doodling like this should the occasion arise. I've had three sessions like this so far...this group is from one session. I may post the others sometime.

Brilliant Lewis!

A good way to pass long waiting times. Seeing your fun characters always lifts my mood.

Had to take my wife for an MRI scan yesterday...they were running late. Luckily, I took my little sketchbook and pencil to pass some of the time. These are cartoonish doodles...I don't feel right about drawing patients ...so obviously these are made up. I gave up after three drawings...they did use up about 45 minutes...every little helps.

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
