            Great effort Constance I know how difficult it is to capture people in the real keep it up and you will find drawing naked people who hold still much easier. :cat:

                Really nice spontaneous sketches. These folk are well captured.

                C&C always welcome.

                            Thanks Bill. The girl with the glasses was actually very animated, so that was a challenge…Now, I can’t wait till the next life drawing session :)

                            Thank you so much Harry! Hoping to improve by observing more.

                            Bethany, yes, it’s quite exciting! I am slowly thickening my skin, drawing in public…but when caught by the ‘model’ it can be quite embarrassing….

                            Thanks Woody for the encouraging words :)

                            Vivien, thank you so much :)

                                Years ago I got caught drawing a pretty girl on the other side of an art class I was taking. Even though I got a date out of it, I was really embarrassed. Any recommendations on how to carry out this type of gorilla art without getting caught? -E

                                Hope it’s ok to comment on your thread, Constance…

                                Earl, I have resorted to sitting on the beach with my pencil and small sketchpad hidden in a bag in front of me.
                                I pretend that I am taking notes in a tiny sketchpad on public transport. My ipad is good in cafes, too.
                                But when I am “sprung” as we say in Australia- I own it. I smile and show my sketches and talk about my art.
                                My kids were the worst when they were young- they would say loudly “Who are you drawing now, Mum??”

                                    What a good idea Bethany! Your kids must have known that you’d like to keep a low profile when drawing hehehe :D

                                        Earl, I think we can both follow Bethany’s method :D

                                        I did some ‘unsuspecting’ sketches on holiday last year but I do find it a very furtive occupation. After a few days, people knew what I was doing and didnt seem bothered but I still dont feel comfortable. Constance, youve done some quite detailed work there:) Earl, I commend you…
