WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
(This workshop is based on the one Rob taught at the 2018 USk Symposium in Porto.)
Your sketches are a colorful stage, and adding people is like placing actors and actresses who can give your artwork a huge pop of life! This workshop will show you how to start being the director of your very own sketching show.
Causeway Bay is known for being flooded with people, especially on weekends. Tourists rub elbows with locals; strolling, shopping, eating and chatting and more! It may seem intimidating as there are so many details vying for your attention. "But drawing people is hard! They're always moving!" say some. "I can't draw faces!" say others. And so, many sketchers concentrate on architecture and other urban features that don't keep shifting around and disappearing.
Without learning complicated anatomy, Rob will teach how to begin drawing not just people-looking blobs, but interesting characters to your work. Learn how to analyse and simplify what you see, discover important proportions to pay attention to, and to tell better stories with people in your sketches.
All levels welcome. Open to all mediums - traditional or digital. (Please refer to the recommended supply list below.)
This workshop will be conducted in English.Minimum 8 participantsMaximum 15 participants

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Rob Sketcherman is a self-taught artist and urban sketcher whose work has taken him on illustration commissions of all kinds, including documenting an international film festival through sketches, painting a 5-storey high mural for a boutique hotel, and live-sketching a million people celebrating with the Pope in Fátima, Portugal. He has taught at USk Symposiums in Singapore, Manchester, Chicago and Porto, and has conducted sold-out sketching workshops internationally.
Known for his use of dynamic lines, vivid color, and detailed scenes filled with expressive people, Rob works exclusively with an iPad and the app Procreate, relishing the freedom and speed his minimalist kit brings, and its ability to let him work inconspicuously anywhere a good story beckons.
