96. frankenstein drawing!

I made up an art exercise that I’m sure other people do all the time because I saw it in a book but I at least came up with a cute name for it. It’s called a Frankenstein sketch!

What you do is grab a notebook and a pencil, and go out to a busy street and draw people as they walk by. obviously people walk by too fast so what you do is draw a bit of everyone. Take one guy’s nose, that woman’s bangs, that kid’s tiny ear and add it all together.

the great thing about this exercise is it doesn’t end up being a serious drawing so you can relax! it helps you to focussing on what people are wearing and what stands out. I noticed how different a little kids cheeks are to young woman to an old man. It’s a way of seeing that is playful, calming, and helps you focus in on the plethora of visual noise around you

also I can’t find good life drawing classes near me and nobody wants to pose so this is what I got!
