Description
Quick figure studies with live models at a coffeeshop or home. You have to be quick since people keep moving all the time. It's a great exercise to do, since you cannot prograstinate on the details, you only have the time to capture the essence as quickly as possible.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactMy favorite is the person leaning on the counter in the upper right hand group. I can see the poses of even the "incomplete" ones. (Whenever I do this exercise, I want to jump up and yell "Hold still a minute longer, that was a great pose!" but of course I'm too embarrassed to.)
I think if possible you should try doing these with something thick, like a children's crayon or a double-ended marker (I've heard <a href="www.dickblick.com/products/tom…>Tombow recommended, but haven't had a chance to use them myself.. it's on my to-do list). See if a thick tool doesn't speed up the blocking-in process and calm down larger areas of shading, giving you more time for any detailing with the fine point.
One drawback of children's crayons is that they melt in the dryer if you forget to take them out of your pocket. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="
