Sketching with my niece this morning. 🥰 She sure moved a lot making it all a bit tricky,… I make myself sketch her whenever I get the chance even though sketching people (especially loved ones) scares me a bunch 😅… these sketches make the best memories! #urbansketching #practise

Agreed. I bought a book of street fashion photos just to use in order to practice sketching people. My Korean teacher is constantly asking me when I’ll draw him, and I’m like, “I like you! Never!”

Also, zoo drawing. That’s where I do most of my practice, so things eventually moving is normal now. Which makes it fun if and when the local urban sketching group joins me. (“This is why I draw all my buildings faster than you all. Cuz I’m expecting them to move too!”)

We have that too. Unfortunately they’re called “earthquakes.”
