#OneWeek100People2017: Day three
Posted: March 8, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized 10 CommentsDay three of #OneWeek100People2017: lessons learned.
Lesson one: don’t go to a mall near your home to draw. I ran into a colleague, a friend and a neighbour who all stopped to say hello. That really cut into the drawing time. Also, the mall lighting can sometimes be really flat.
Lesson two: People in malls don’t stay seated as long as people in cafés. I made a few starts (#42, #51) but the models walked away before I was done drawing.
Lesson three: Standing figures are much faster to draw than seated portraits. When I started to get tired I picked a bench near the passport office and drew the people standing in line. The last six for today (54-59) were the most spontaneous and the most fun to do.

I do like No 48!

Really?? I thought that was the least successful of them all. Hunchback of Notre Dame, perhaps?

I’m loving these three days of people, Shari. You may find some to be more successful than others, but I find each one to be so evocative! What you can do with only a brush and gray paint is incredible.

Nice work as always. I particularly like 42, 46, and 58.

Beautiful economy of line in those last images, almost like calligraphy.

52-58 are my favorites. Maybe I just like people leaving? Seriously this whole thing has been a learning experience. Have tried different pens, pencil and ink and various papers. Since the sketches were fast and small, it was easy to change. Still with one eye.

I like #57 the best of this group. You are really able to catch so much in just a few lines. I thought about you sketching by the post office line and was inspired to go to our local motor vehicle department. I had captive models there today.
