Drawing Crowds without Fear
Thursday, July 3, 2025 from 5pm to 8pm
Location: Pearl District
Instructor: Rita Sabler
This workshop will address one of sketchers’ major headaches–drawing people in motion. Drawing convincing human postures and gestures requires one to rely on a solid visual vocabulary of people in specific circumstances. We will explore shortcuts for drawing people by creating a vocabulary of gestures , so next time you are see a crowd of people you calmly pull out a sketchbook and say to yourself “I can do this!”
