TUTORIAL FOR THIS WEEK:  People Walking - Individuals or Crowds?

Hello my fellow sketchers! This week I'll be making a tutorial on sketching people walking and needed to ask your opinion.

I originally thought I'd sketch a large crowd of people walking (Like #5) but had a feeling I should include some different options where I could spend more time with an individual person or small group. This isn't really about sketching people walking from life, it's more from a photo so we can take our time.

But what do you think? Would you like to sketch a very small/impressionistic crowd like #5 or would a slightly bigger sketch of individual people be more appealing?

Please let me know in the poll and comments below!

WHAT'S COMING UP:

Week Starting 1st April: Urban Sketching - Individual Building

Week Starting 8th April: Portraits - Medium size faces

Week Starting 15th April: Urban Objects - Historic Sailing Boat

Let’s learn to do the more difficult sketch of a large crowd. Most of the rest bear resemblance to previous people images.

Geertje

I would like to learn how to do the large crowd. How can I make sure, that they're about the same size? When I sketch multiple people, I find it hard to sketch them all in a similar size. Especially their heads.

#5 for me Scottie, the more people the better 😊

Marie Cornelis

merci Scottie,pour moi le 4 et le 5 ...super!!! merci

Petra

Hi Scottie, for me # 5 but not all people...maybe a part of them until the Lady with the umbrella and white shirt on the right side.

Kerstin

I am for large crowd … even i am already now scared to try it 😅

Roz

Wow, this group loves a challenge I see. I thought 5 looked interesting and certainly more difficult, but I voted for 3 thinking it would be more likely to be useful. Buy hey, I love a challenge!

Karen

More individuals walking, small groups.

Froukje

4 please

Scottie I’m having difficultly with shoulders- it may not be topic for this tutorial but maybe in the future. 3/4 view?

Ana Margarita Enriquez

Hi Scottie, not for this tutorial but for consideration in the future, I wonder if process is the same for creating larger sized paintings that are good for framing? I’d love to have one of my paintings that I can frame and give as gifts to people.
