Let’s Draw Eye-Catching Illustrations: Drawing People for Urban Sketching

Thanks, Mary. 🙂 You might want to give it a try.

Awesome work and styles of people! You've made me want to give it a try :)

Thanks for checking in, Silvia. It would be so interesting to see your characters based on your background and artistic skills. 🙂

Thank you, Yvette. I appreciate your feedback. 🙂

hi tamas, your people drawings remember me of those from my father. he was an architect and I suspect you enjoy sitting on a park, jus tlike he did, observing...  and pang! a figure is born. congratulations and thanks for your like

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Martha. Exactly. The styles in the first two rows are used by architects to place their buildings into context, so the viewer knows what size they have.

Thanks for the like . Love your little people. I’ll be joining soon 😇!

Hey thanks for the like and I'm so glad I looked at your project...I've been wanting to incorporate figures into my learning and this class will be great, signing up! 😃

Sounds awesome, Cindy. Please don't forget to upload your project, so I can see that. 🙂

Thank you so much. I want to learn how to draw eyes too 👀!

OMG !!! I was looking for this kind of art. I love how you do this figures. It’s AMAZING . Thank you for liking my art too. It’s my 1st time to post an art 😇! For sure I will follow your art &amp; learn. Blessings for you 🙏!!!

Thanks for checking in. You're welcome in my class whenever you feel like. 🙂

This is exactly what I need! I really like the different styles.

Thanks, Justine. Then give it a try. I can't wait to see your interpretation. 🙂

Great dynamic in your figures. Love them!

Thanks for your compliment, Naidu. I appreciate your feedback. 🙂

These are fantastic Tamas. The figures on the second page are so emotive. Awesome.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jennifer. I appreciate that. 🙂

Super cool! I love what you did...wish I could do these

Thanks! Of course, you can do this, Jax. Give it a try, and you'll see. 🙂 Well, the second page is kind of a higher level, but if you can draw/paint the bottom row from the first page, then it's really just about adding some extra details to it in a slightly bigger format. Now, I'm really interested in your interpretation. Pausing the live cam on a busy street, and making 1-2 min. sketches about people can be another addiction. But no pressure, do what your soul tells you to do next.

These are so nice! Love the style. A definite class I need to take!

Thank you, Christie. Whenever you feel like. 🙂

Oh I just stared following you Tamas, I love the look of your classes thank you.

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback, Victoria. 🙂 I like the fashion niche. I wish I had more time to sketch people in beautiful clothes.

Tamas I can draw gorgeous clothes on people because it has been part of career for so long but it is boring believe me! But....try and draw people within a scene....now that is a talent I'm not able to do, hence the reason I am looking at your very interesting classes now!😄

I see. It's interesting to read that. 🙂 Though, with your skill set, I'm sure it won't be difficult. You already know a bunch of things that a beginner has to struggle with. So, I think what you think you're not able to do, it's just in the next room behind a door that you can open easily. I watch street cams, pause it, and make one or two-minute sketches about people walking around or doing stuffs. It's  much fun.

Thank you ~ I may try this ~ it’s excellent

Yes, I learned only one simple form for a person in a landscape, and would love to have more ways to include people in my work. It is stressful to feel so challenged with it.

Whenever you feel like, Shannon. I'll be happy to see your figures, too. 🙂

what a fun array of people Love the shadows on the bottom ones

Thanks, Catherine. I appreciate your feedback. Your recent winter painting with the fox and the bird looks enchanting. They are like discussing something important. 🙂

Love your figures Tamas. I need a lot of help with mine. Need to do your class.

Thanks, Jennifer. 🙂 Yeah... drawing figures feels kind of intimidating at first, but with a little practice, it becomes very entertaining. Simplification is key. I encourage you to give this class a try. I'd love to see your interpretation of these characters. 🙂

Thanks, Debbi. Your crochet figures looks awesome too. 🙂

I love sketching people, so this time, I tested out different illustration styles that can work great for urban sketching. If your streets are deserted in your sketchbook, now it's time to change that. Are you afraid of drawing people on your sketches? Let me know what you think. 🙂
