Third Time's A Charm

Yorkdale Mall Sketching = Fun!



People who pass out at the mall dining area are hilarious. They also make greeeaatttt models. I highly recommend cafe sketching to anyone just learning how to draw, or anyone in art for that matter. There's something about cafe sketching that reminds me of the old romantic era of Paris and Italy. Maybe it's the whole idea of the romantic artist, but some day I want to go there and do the REAL "cafe" sketching. Oh well, I can dream crazily can't I?



Going back to Bobby Chiu's teachings of Linear Structure, I attempted to use this new technique on an unlikely character, my neighbour's cat, Arthur. Arthur is a black cat that is ridicoulously friendly, not to mention weird. Anyways, the point is, he has a great face and I really tried to structure it out here. I just wish he would stay still sometimes...



There's nothing like a pidgeon to brighten up a bad sketch day.



There was a guy named Mark at Bobby's Sketchgroup and I attempted to caricature him, or at least make a drawing that resembled him...somewhat. Haha! I got a long way to go. Although, he did have a beard, and glasses, and hat, something just doesn't feel right, and I think it could be...you guessed it, STRUCTURE! Back to the drawing board ;)



I couldn't get enough of Arthur, so I drew more of him.



Skimping on the hair so I can concentrate on the face. Baby steps...baby steps..
