People People People!


Went to town and spent a good couple of hours drawing people as they walked around. I found that I couldn't draw literal representations of people but I found it a really good exercise for drawing something new and different. When a person walked past and I liked an aspect of their character, I tried to freeze the image in my mind and draw what I saw. What I found was that my drawings became quite stylised simply because I was trying to capture character rather than just shape and form. I really enjoyed it and actually I quite like the style of the drawings. I think I may keep them that way and paint each of them up in a more detailed manner. This little dude is the first I have done.
