People Observations

Spend the day at the Barbican Centre in London with some friends, a sketch pad, and a couple of pens.

It made good practise for capturing peoples natural body language, and their interaction between one another outside in a relaxed environment.

I also captured scenes which I found to have interesting form and composition. So the way people are all sat around the pond together with the trees in the background giving a sense of place and helping to set the mood.

Vanity

I’ve been sitting drinking tea im my local cafe, when some guy has stopped to check his hair in the reflection of the mirrored glass window, completely oblivious to the people inside.

 

So when I see this weeks challenge on http://illustrationfriday.com/ was
 VANITY I couldn’t think of a better example to draw.

Charlotte

Another Illustration I done of Charlotte during her photo shoot with Chris.
This one was her favourate, and I’m also quite pleased with it too. I think that at this angle I’ve clearly captured the sceen, and shown the way Chris gets the effect in his photography, with the use of filters attached to his camera.
To the right is the photograph taken by Chris at the shoot.
