Hi All!

Got to spend a few hours sketching at Southbank here in sunny Brisbane. It was really hot and humid (we're just getting into summer here), but there were plenty of people around at the Sunday markets and Kodak beach, so there were lots of great poses and actions to sketch.

Lookin good Andy. I like the gestures and lines in the second and third ones. They look like they are really moving around. From your sketches I wish I could've been in Brisbane with you!

Hi,

your drawings look very living....and we can feel the atmosphere of the
beach

great!

bye

hi andy,
wow beach!!!!!!
I wanna sun!!! and hot hot hot
I especially like 5th man.
You drew the difficult pause exactly.

Great fluid gesture drawings Andy! The beach looks like it was a great spot for people watching.

Oh those are really great figures. You really know how to convey movement through your drawings!

Thanks for the comments!

James: Yeah it was great trying to draw the kids at the beach as they messed around in the sand - they don't hold still for long

FAB: It was really a great day to sketch beach-goers. Kodak beach is actually a man-made one in a big recreational area called Southbank in the city - there's always plenty of interesting things going on there.

Paintmonster: Thanks Marty! There were a LOT of poses like that from where I was sitting - lots of people's backs!

Alisa: Thanks! It sure was an awesome place to do some figure sketching.

Amelia: I was definitely trying to get the action of the (sometimes very brief) poses, glad you liked them

Andy, Your figures are fantastic! You really caught everyones feeling on enjoying what seems to be a nice sunny day.

Andy - nice gestures, and your location...the beach! sounds wonderful. I remember sketching in that same type of heat/humidity while camping...my friends thought I was crazy

I really like the flow of your lines!

Thanks bcthree, gdedios and Karen! Hopefully it'll be another sunny day for the next crawl

andy .. how could it come, that I only watched you drawings and didn't comment. It's been a while since I spent some time in one of the most undervalued Australian cities ... but, I really "re-felt" the peculiar atmosphere of artsitic and natural things built up on Southbanks. You really got a good cross section of many people going there for different reasons.
I really like the last picture with your sport-motion studies!!
