Nice shot Yitzhak! Portrait/characturist artists are always good for an image or two, and you've captured the concentration of the artist well. My only thoughts revolve around the slightly cluttered background and the distracting woman intruding to the left of the frame - I think maybe a tighter crop would improve this though... If you'd like to see my thoughts please enable Workshop and I'll post them :-)

Great Yitzhak

You capture another type of art. In my life, on time I try to paint, but the result :)

Well done

Oh this one fine and gives a lot of memories - back in 1984 my wife and I visit London - and got drawings made on the very same place. I will find the old pictures - and see if some worth posting. Thanks for sharing this artist at work - and thanks Yitzhak.

This is a great London shot, Yitzhak. I like the way you have included some of the finished works and the artists sign in between the central characters. The touch of green in the background is beautiful. Well seen.

This is beautifully captured - all the elements for a sidewalk art scene, with action, color, background, details. So nice that this is a square, and there is not an ugly wall behind, but green grass. Wouldn't it be neat if more of the artwork was finished, so we couls all see how the artist did? ;o)

An interesting colorful London street scene, Yitzhak, and a straightforward capture of it. The street artist still seems to be at an early stage of portraying the lady, and I'm not quite sure whether all of the works at display are very flattering of his skills. Leicester Sq may be sort of quiet during business hours, but still provides a nice urban backdrop for your shot here.

I saw this earlier and two or three times at work I looked at it. What I like most about it is the contrast between all the faces. The drawing of a beautiful dreamy looking girel; the model so well poised, and quiet; the artist in concntration while the sketch on his sign appears to be the artists own portrait but seems to sneeer at the whole see. I think cropping the passing woman's back would be ok, but then you'd lose the drawing of the happy guy.

very nice picture..that's what Leicester Square has always been to me...(I have 2 pictures that do not look like me and do not look like each other at all)...I like this interaction of the 2 people who never met before...you showed it neatly..
thanks Yitzhak :)
