Sketching and Drawing

I really enjoyed going around London sketching the things around me and I found it very relaxing. At first I wasn’t really able to sketch any people because everyone was walking around and didn’t stick around for very long. However, I eventually got used to sketching much quicker and rougher and was able to capture the general idea of what I saw.

Out of my 10 sketches I picked one and turned into the middle of a story by creating a beginning and end. I wanted to make a story with a comedic twist and I came up with an alien that scares away the man who runs away, only to go and sit next to the old lady on the bench and read a book. This rotation taught me to create quick rough sketches rather than getting caught up in capturing the small details which is what I usually do. It was also a lot of fun turning the sketches into part of a story.
