Doodling People: Develop Confidence by Drawing & Sketching Simple Figures

These are so wonderful, Trena! Do you ever do the 100 people drawing challenge in March? This reminds of that. <a href="https://www.lizsteel.com/oneweek100people-is-on-again-in-2026/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">www.lizsteel.com/oneweek100people-is-on-again-in-2026/</a>

Thanks Elisabeth! I’ve heard of it, but have not tried it. Thank you for reminding me about it. I’ll put it on my calendar for this year. Tamas’ class has sparked a people drawing rabbit hole that I’m enjoying. 😂

Thank you for posting your project, Trena. I'm glad you took my figure drawing class and enjoyed it. I love how you formed the figures according to your own taste and added further details to them, as well as more complex shadow patterns. They look awesome. Illustrating the walking process from different viewing angles can be challenging. It's a tricky thing, at least from a few specific angles, isn't it? But it definitely develops our spatial perception. I like how you tried several times at the end of the 2nd row until you found a working angle. Thank you for your kind words in your review. I appreciate your feedback. It helps me a lot. 🙂

Tamas, I am happy to share my experience! Another thing I just thought of as I was reading your note to me - drawing walking! Your tips and instruction helped me! If I can edit my review, I will add that! I will likely watch your class again next month. I'll be drawing with a group outside urban sketching - my first time. I'm so excited! Thank you for creating this class!

Wow, Trena, that sounds interesting. I'm in the middle of creating a new class specifically for people illustration in urban sketching. I go through several different styles. Simple and quick ones. The plan is to make it public by next weekend.

This was a fun class! AND, I feel like it helped me build my skills in drawing people quickly. Thanks Tamas!
