Day One Hundred and Ten of Sketching People

Continuing on with day 110 of my #Kick365 sketching challenge to draw people in ink and watercolour. This week I attended the Monday afternoon session of Drawing is Free speed sketching on Zoom.


Drawing is Free Speed Sketching

Drawing is Free live sketching event is a one-hour speed sketching session, with each pose the length of a different music track, so each pose ends up being between 2 1/2 to 5 minutes. The first sketch of each session is always of Chloe the organiser, and this week she chose people quite a few people with red hair for us to sketch.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these speed sketching sessions, but it was fun to get bacon this horse! During the zoom call I did ink lines with a bit of tonal shading, and then added some watercolour after the call.
