East, UK [RESULTS]

Post by Macaruba »

Hi

First up on my Sketchcrawl, I took my 6 year old son to a athletics club called Star-Track.
9am on a Saturday, a truly unholy time of day that's for sure. Most of my drawings from the day
are really sketchy, I didn't spend much time refining many of them like I have done before.

I started with one of the childrens mothers sitting on the grass in front of me.

Over to my right, a father and son sat, here's a quick one of the son (about 3 years old).

Next I caught a quick profile of one of the fathers, he has what I like to call 'jawjut' and my wife calls a 'grade 3'

Alongside him was a friend, I think he was squinting because of the sun (I hope).

The children have a junior athletics trainer. This is the young man's profile.

A really scrappy one of my son waiting in line, but they keep moving and it's so difficult to get anything decent.

.
In the last 22nd Sketchcrawl, I loved the drawings from dave c in Barcelona of the Christopher Columbus monument, check it out here:

Barcelona,Spain(results)

The way he quickly attained the shape with the grey then rendered the black over the top, I had to try this out, ending up with quick and accurate results.

I was really pleased with this lady watching the children.

I'm trying to post one a day till I've posted all my drawings from the day.

Here are a couple today as I missed my post yesterday.

Childrens faces as they lined up for the long jump.
Speed drawing = rubbish drawing (in my case, anyway)

Another profile, this time one of the Mums.

After the mornings activities I took my wife, kids and niece to Norwich.
They had tickets for the stage version of High School Musical.
We sat in "The Forum" and I caught a quick one of my son and daughter eating ice creams.

The family went into the Theatre Royal to see the show, so I returned to Café Bar Marzano for a coffee and a seat to continue my sketching.
Here are a couple of hippyfied girls with headband and facepaint chatting with friends.

The back of a youth standing in the piazza area at the Forum.
He has a coat wrapped around his waist and Metal T-shirt.

Through the crowds I had a good view of this man, skinhead, piercings and looking pretty hard. I didn't ask his permission!
