Sketching in position of face to face is much harder than from behind or from the sides. In libraries, bookstores or the coffee shops, when in mood of sketching, first i choose the location carefully. The safest position is when the model is not aware of, and you can study them a bit and make a relaxed sketch. In libraries you may find sitters in relaxed positions and not much conscious. i found these two ladies in the reading room where they were sitting apart toward the windows. I made them closer to each other to have both in one shot.

Media : pen & ink, and washes of light watercolor.
