People compose themselves when they are sitting for a portrait. But when they're asleep, anything goes. This businessman was riding home on the Hudson Valley line from New York City.
"Anything goes" is right on the money. I usually end up drawing sleeping relatives and loved ones because I'm a chronic night owl, and they are often embarrassed when they see the drawing. Still, there is a certain peaceful quality of sleeping subjects that I really like.
