Pencil Sketches

So far, I have developed original creature-like characters of my own. But what I found most difficult to achieve is drawing people. 


I started off by drawing quick observational drawings of myself, using only pencils. 
I then developed the concept further by analyzing people around me (in classes, outdoors, at home or on my way to and from college in the bus etc.) and drew rough pencil sketches of them. My sketches bear a different range of viewpoints: whether the subject is seen from the front, the side or even the back.


I try not to concentrate too much on detail, just the the important shapes and lines that make up the frame of a person.


Drawing people from observation gives me a thorough insight to the form of their features; the size of the limbs, the basic forms of the objects surrounding them, and the creases of the clothes where they take their form around the body in a series of positions.


More of my pencil sketches can be found in my sketchbook.
