People in the Park

More sketching in Jesus Green. The first is a young mum, her kids were playing nearby but were moving too much to draw.

A couple sitting talking on the grass.


Charcoal is great to draw with. The same drawings done with an HB pencil would look much worse. I've also noticed that, as far as I can see, one key to drawing is to keep the level of detail consistent. If the detail is focused in any area it greatly unbalances the picture. I found the same thing to be true in games design.

You're good with charcoal. I suck at it so I'm jealous again (I just make the paper very dirty).

Don't agree with consistent levels of detail comment. Haven't any great wisdom to back that up, but I don't agree.

Discuss.
