Description A bunch of sketches of people I did in my script over a couple months at a theatre production I was in (it was like a Shakespeare workshop for people ages 7 to 18). These are of varying quality, but mostly the sketchier ones are sketchier because I was drawing, from life, people who had no idea that I was actually drawing them and kept moving. There are a few that I really like.

(And hey, people who know me in real life, there may be a few people who you recognize in here. Let me know if you have any guesses.)

Very nice set of pose studies! I like them. I'm particularly amused by the guy holding the giant paper...or whatever it is...with just his legs undernieath and the top of his head showing.

- tries to remember who's taking the class with you - I think one of them I haven't seen in four years so I'm not going to recognize him...

I really like one sitting with their arms folded over their legs, second row down. (Guessing that they're female but right now my gender guessing skills are at a low so I'm hesitant to guess for anyone.) It has a strong dose of personality. That's your sister, yeah? And I'm guessing that the one in a chair next to them is your director, who's name I've forgotten. I also really like the one reading a newspaper, the face came out very well. Your shading to show the contours came out great. The one hiding behind the board is amusing as well.

He is in there, but you can't see his face -- he's the guy in the third row-ish thing down who's wearing the cap and sitting kind of to the side.

Yeah, that is my sister. XD Wait, you mean the guy to the right? No, he's just a random actor -- I didn't get to draw my director. And yeah, I like the script-reading girl too. She was doing Macbeth for like the first time, and she has really pretty face. (I can link you to some photos from the production if you like so you can try and match people up. XD) Hee, he was pretty amusing all by himself. I don't pretend to have drawn him very well, but...

- can't even remember who she was talking about in that comment - Well, hopefully you know who I'm talking about. - laughs -

It's her nose, anyway. - laughs - And your pencil lines were darker, it seemed like you might be more familiar with drawing her, more confident.
The one sitting down isn't your director? Pity. They look confident enough to be.
She does have a very pretty face, you captured that well.
(Do, though you probably should through message or email, linking through here might be a bit public.)
He's not in the most realistic style but that doesn't mean he's not drawn well. He has a certain cartoon look about him that fits the pose.
