So far I’ve been quick-sketching whole people, mostly those buying coffee at the mall. Marc Taro Holmes chided me a bit for drawing those people with their backs to me. This was sort of true. Because of the place I was sketching, everyone had their backs to me as they paid for, and received, their coffee. I did look back, however, and noticed that 14 of those 50 people (28%) did have their face visible. Marc’s a tough critic (grin).
So, when I went to the mall today I decided that I’d draw floating heads/faces. I sat in the food court, moving once in a while, and most of my targets were looking in my direction. Marc will undoubtedly tell me that I’ve left the bodies off and, again, he’d be correct. And yes, I’m kidding, Marc.
I quickly slapped some color on these before I scanned them and, I think, this flattening the sketches considerably. I guess I should have taken the time to try to get some shading into the color. It’s said you can get two of three attributes from any endeavour. These are cheap, quality, and quantity. I always get cheap so I choose between the other two and this “challenge” is about quantity. These 20 were done during a 30-35 minute session. It shows. Sigh…
