Real People vs. Pictures






I prefer drawing real people, but they don't sit still like people in pictures do. So I'm on a trip, and sketching, and there are all kinds of wonderful people in wonderful lighting to draw, but alas, they are not there solely for me to draw, so my drawing itch had to be scratched with doing some drawings from photographs as well. You can no doubt tell which is which. Of these, three are from real people, and two are from photos.

  3. I hear what you're saying. Real people do move, especially the ones that don't know you're capturing them on paper! :) No matter, how you're doing it, you're practicing and that's what count! Have fun!

  4. Sometimes I rent videos and pick up the character by watching (with, admittedly, some pausing), so I do a composite. Good to partner up with someone else who likes to draw and draw each other.
