Drawing 100 People in One Week Challenge

[By Don Low in Singapore] Thanks to Marc Holmes, Suhita Shirodkar and Liz Steel who initiated this to get sketchers to sketch 100 people in one week or 5 days. This year is the third and began from April 8 to April 12. Just a week to focus the sketching attention of individuals to people, figures, portraits or human activities in different approaches and mediums. The requirements do not restrict sketches to be done on-location but also include sources like video and reference pictures. The objective is to have fun with drawing people without inhibition and there after building our confidence in this aspect of sketching. For mine challenge, I chose to sketch people from life observation and from images. I will only post those done from observing from life here.

Day 1 was done at Starbucks. Since most do not move much while sitting in a cafe, it was easy to capture their gesture and even their faces. I did not try to get their likeness but simply an essence of how they look. It was also fun to get a group rather than just individuals. A group would show how they interact and from drawing, you may get their dynamics too.



There was a Chinese lady who say just next to me. She was busy looking at her computer. I stole a quick look at it and saw that she was a financial planner. She has a very good looking side profile so I couldn't resist drawing her. She probably has noticed me looking in her direction but I tried to minimise my head movement so not draw attention to myself. I could say I got her likeness pretty well, after failing the first time. For these sketches, I used a Pentel Pocket brush pen for the lines, and Tombow brush pen markers for the colours and tones.

Day 3 (59/100) – I was walking around and looking for subjects to draw in the library when I was invited to try out VR goggles and applications while passing by an event room. I have not really tried any VR applications yet so I gave it a go. After which I continued wandering around the library to find my subjects to draw. Most people were too engrossed with their books and smart devices and usually would remain motionless within a minute, enough to capture the essence of their gestures and movement. I was almost using a single line to draw. This will allow me to see the overall shape and gesture as a whole. Details were added later as the line meander around the form. The colours were added with Tombow markers later.



The above sketch was done with a brush pen again. Since I was comfortably seated with a good vantage point, I decided to make a more elaborated sketch of the sushi bar and the diners.

Day 4 - I was in a painting class. The students became my subjects. It was fascinating to see everyone adopting a different posture to draw and paint. It was also pretty enjoyable to capture these on a sketch. I sketched this digitally on my iPad with Procreate. I started with a generic screen size for a canvas, and gradually expand it as I draw. The new Canvas Resize function on Procreate made this possible. This is by far one of the most useful updates beside the most recent support for TEXT that was launched on Tuesday 16 Apr 2019. I used a pencil brush tool named "Storybook Pencil" that was created by George.

Day 5 - I was escaping the scorching sun, after sketching at a boardwalk into a cafe that was beautifully decorated with artificial foliage and lights, and wonderfully chilled in a/c. I was back in using the brush pen again but was sketching on an A3 paper instead of my A5 sketchbook. This time a lot more liberating since the drawing surface was much larger.



Later that day, I hung out with some friends at another mall and drew the remaining figures on my sketchbook, thus completing the 100 people challenge. Maybe the next challenge should be 100 Buildings in One Week.



Here's something I did prior to this challenge in another class. Girls sitting and painting elegantly on the easel or on the bench.
