After class today, me and a few friends ended up heading down to the nearest coffee shop to do a few life studies. Since non of us had really draw from real life in awhile, we thought I'd be a good idea not to go rusty when it came to drawing stuff that wasn't trapped inside our heads.
I've never really sat down in public and draw people around me for hours before, so it was kind of awkward to begin with; I felt like some sort of ninja with a sketchbook. But after the first few sketches I really began to enjoy myself. Surprisingly, in a sort of odd way, it was fun to quickly scribble out a drawing. Almost like you were being timed or something to complete it, before your unsuspecting model would get up and leave.
I used a few pens, some markers and fountain pens to do some quick line work. I also used the good old cheap colouring pencils I bought for 50p to do some colour work, turned out pretty well.
I am proud of myself.
Yes, yes I am.
