Ahmed Essam took to sketching the faces he sees on the metro on to his tickets to pass the time on his commute and the results are pretty cool, Egypt Today reports. Essam started out sketching faces in his notepad, and a new hobby was born when he forgot it one day. Although a business graduate, Essam does refine his skills studying with friends at the Faculty of Fine Arts. His portraits show the faces and expressions of the daily commute in Egypt’s underground and he hopes to combine his efforts into a mosaic to hang in one of the metro stations one day.
