Workshop SA09 (German): September 11, 14:00-17:00
People sketching with humour
In this workshop we sketch people – quickly, loosely and with a lot of humour.
The goal is to sharpen the observation, to capture the essence and then exaggerate it.
In lots of sketches we work quickly and loosely, outdoors in the city. We do not cling to details, but approach the complex subject of drawing people with courage, not worrying about anatomy. This is how we create maximum expression and humour. It's great fun!
