Street sketching, part 1 - Tricks and hints

Thank you so much for comment. I will try to correct them. Love your class and practice more.

Oh, great! Thank you Ruby. The sketch looks nice and vivid, great work! The landscape is perfect.What seems not very accurate is the position of the human figures and car. They look out of proportions. To adjust it to your landscape first you have to find horizon level. It has to be certainly higher than benches but lower than the topline of the door. Usually, in the landscape, all standing figures are more or less of the same height as you. It means that their heads are on the level of your eyes, on the horizon line. The position of the feet shows us how far the figures are from us. If the feet are lower figure is closer. Proportions for all figures will be the same: the width of the shoulders fits six times in the height of the figure. The length of the arms is equal to the length of the legs, the width of the shoulders is equal to two head widths. The car looks like an estate wagon so it has to be about the human figure height and its roof has to be on the horizon level.And I would rotate the photo a little to adjust vertical lines upright - I guess it is correct in your sketch.
