Had an itch to practice people again. First used pencil scribble lines to get the shapes down and then tidied up with pen and ink.Think what I need to do is a page of hands and feet....especially hands.
S&B Epsilon journal
Mechanical pencil

Great people sketches! ~ I make terrible people, they are all cartoony looking and they always have noses that don't fit right! ha ha ~
Thanks Melody :-) If you notice with a lot of sketches I do with people, I avoid faces like the plague. Instead I just suggest the best I can or render people walking away from me. Same with animals.
I study all the time stick figures of various kinds and true gesture figures where it's basically scribbles forming the bodies.
I found a really good book (used) through Amazon called People Painting Scrapbook by Draper. It goes through great lengths sharing how to go about simple figures one can use within a painting without having to use a lot of detail. He emphasizes gesture practice and has lots of illustrations!
