I’m planning to show the rest of my sketches for the One Week 100 People challenge after the week is over, but today I’m posting No. 26 – 58, which I did yesterday with USk Seattle. Meeting at Northgate Light Rail Station, we enjoyed a sunny morning with temps in the balmy mid-40s!
A year ago, USk Seattle met at the same station to sketch people for the challenge, but only two of us showed up. This year we tried something a little different: We held two outings simultaneously – Northgate Station on the northend and Tukwila Station on the southend – hoping to make it easier for more sketchers to participate. I’m happy to say that Northgate got a good turnout. It’s always more fun to sketch people when you sketch with other people! And I think all of us put together sketched way more than a hundred people.
The previous day had been a good warmup, and by yesterday I hit my stride capturing lots of tiny gestures. Every year I’m reminded of how much fun it is to sketch lots of people this way – I don’t know why I don’t do it more often!
Great sketches. I love the one of the person in the cape!
ReplyDeleteI loved her cape -- maybe made of velour or velvet! And so unexpected where almost everyone was wearing a hooded jacket or puffy coat.
DeleteNice work! The puffy jackets are well observed and I love the little dog.
ReplyDeleteEvery winter, I grab a chance to draw puffy coats! They are surprisingly challenging!
DeleteGreat subject tagline! It's more fun that way. Capturing the gestures on a smaller scale and getting it right is a great learning tool. It's easier to scale it up, anyway than the other way around.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mel! When my goal is quantity, I go as small as possible to cram 'em all in! ;-)
