Good practice well done.

A good collection of well observed figures.

A good exercise Donald and nice idea to use different colours. Well observed.

Really good shapes and movement.

The movement of each figure is skilfully captured, excellent sketching.

I like these, great sketching

Thanks Chris, Andrew, Tessa, Diane, Lewis and Heather. I usually use a black biro pen for these kind of drawings. With this one , I selected colour pencils and worked in a portrait format to follow the natural rotation of the eye. I allowed time for observation to select each one in a different stance and pace. The group of nine makes for an informal arrangement. Even numbers are formal.

An observational and selective drawing from life of people traversing a street. I wanted each one to be different . And used a range of colour pencils for variety.
