Steve Emery a dit…: I come as a fan of Cindy's - and I see why she loves your work.

I must ask, though, on these street and crowd scenes, do you draw this live??? How can you draw so many figures in relation to each other when they are moving so quickly? Or do you work from life AND photos? Or do you have such great visual memory that you can capture figures with one look at them - before they move?; 6 septembre 2008 à 19:05
benoît guillaume a dit…: How do i manage draw this? oh, it depends.But in 95% they are live drawings, i almost don't draw from pictures (almost)
In some streets some people stand for a long time at the same place (rue du Chateau d'Eau : they work there, give adds to people for their hairdresser...) so i have all the time to draw them.
Of course a lot of them move after 30 seconds, so i have to remember them.
Sometimes (like on this drawing) some guys just wanted to be on the drawing ! (those cigarettes dealers were nice guys); 8 septembre 2008 à 06:26
Making A Mark a dit…: Hi Benoit - I knew you were going to say that! I too draw composites live...but tend to favour indoors rather than the street. But that's purely a practical matter of not being able to stand for long periods....

Cindy sent me here - I love your drawings and I'll be mentioning your blog in my big 'round-up post this Sunday; 20 septembre 2008 à 01:18
