It’s fun to draw people but in situ they move around too much which frustrates my perfectionism. I tried a quick drawing of a friend recently trying to get the gestures rather than ask them to pose for a moment. Sort of worked, but not really – though it’s a good exercise  for honing your observation skills and for just drawing in the moment, forgetting about making it “perfect”.

My preference naturally is a willing model or a photo reference for figure drawing. Here’s some quick sketches of a couple of individuals caught in The Vaccination Line, and one of a health care worker from last fall.
