I went out for 45 minutes after work and sketched all of these as fast as I could. I only stopped when it got too dark outside. Yesterday’s sketches were done with a Staedtler 0.5 pigment liner on a Field Notes sketchbook. Today’s sketches were done on a pocket Moleskine watercolour sketchbook using a 0.3 Staedtler pigment liner, a water brush and watercolour.

People moved by in the street so I had seconds to capture each figure (the more detailed ones stopped for a minute or two). As this is what normally happens when you urban sketch, I found this exercise to be very useful.

Which one is your favourite?

It’s very difficult to choose one favourite. The facial expressions and stance captures are really keen eyed on your part. Impressed with your speed too. Must have been influenced by that speed model class you were drawing the other week. So all in all, a big thumbs up 👍 to all of them. Great start to your intentional capture project. All the best.

The second. Couldn’t tell you why. Maybe saturated colors in art are like salt/fat/sugar in food?
