Description
This was done a while ago, just forgot to upload. D:I've always wanted to do a train scene. I always liked riding the older, rickety malfunctioning trains early in the morning when the lights were all practically broken and would turn off arbitrarily and all you got was the light from the window.
Might be some familiar faces in the background...
openCanvas 4 and Photoshop.

I love train scenes, to be honest. I have one or two (?) back there in my favorites, and it's always fun to look at not only the subject, but all the other passengers, too.
I like riding on the Metro trains where I am, and quietly observing the other people on board. And then the scenery that seems to "woosh!" by. Congratulations on the DD~!

I love this scene. Reminds me of all my trips on the train to the city. On its good days. Beautiful lighting, it really builds the gentle atmosphere.

Good image, you know that alraedy, but here are some tips to make it even better:
-The focal point is the little girl and her fish. The contrast of color is not high enough yet, and some colors on the background characters steal the attention.
-Also, there is a huge problem with the red-haired girl on the bottom right corner. She's facing us so she steals all the attention. Also, she's looking outside the image and brings our eye outwards instead of guiding it to the focal point.
In an image (even more a busy one like this), every element has to direct your eye towards the focal point.
Good job on this

That is amazing. I love the nostalgia within this picture. It's amazing and fascinating, because it's so normal! I guess it's 'beauty within the mundane'

Wow, i love this. I often write about the people i see on public transportation. Since I love rickety trains as well, I think this is my illustrated soul mate.

This is adorable! Although the guy with the creeped-out expression on his face ruins the mood a little bit, haha, especially when everybody else looks so happy/content to be on the train.

Isn't it neat that you can catch anyone saying "I've always wanted to do a train scene."
.. And I want to draw one too. This is a fabulous piece of work, and I love your style! Seeing the kid in the poofy coat next to the goldfish, it just brings a smile to my face.
You really brought out the niceness in public transport!
