In this blog, I will be creating multiple quick sketches of the human body, anatomy, costumes, etc. The class that this is for is called Cafe Sketch at the Columbus College of Art and Design; feel free to browse and comment at your leisure!

"In class" #1
Our class went to the "North Market" located in Downtown Columbus where we observed and drew the many different things each person was doing; these four pictures are only a few of what I had drawn after a three hour time-span.
First off, I really like how neatly your presented the figures, and the captions are a nice way to solidify them. I thought it was fun. Your figures are really in depth and seemed more finished than a lot of other peoples. I think you have a knack for getting the pose and then finishing the drawings. With that, maybe add some facial features just to distinguish between everyone?
Jordan, Overall, great work. While I appreciate the presentation, you don't need to offer written descriptions. Think of it this way - If I can't tell what's going on in the drawing, you haven't succeeded in capturing the gesture, anyway.
("Show Me, Don't Tell Me," which should be the motto of Storyboarding)
- However, in this case, the forms are strong, your line variety is developed with the correct sensitivity, and I can easily tell what these subjects are doing. What I really like is that you have incorporated the surroundings in a vignetted style around the subject, and you've addressed the hair and face and hands. Please continue this. It doesn't have to be rendered or highly detailed - just an indication.
In the future, try to find more variety in the gender and body types in your subjects.

Great work !
The proportions look good, and I like how settings were included to clarify the poses.
