Pencils for all! – A quick drawing exercise to unleash your creativity

I discovered that many of you have secret sketchbooks and enjoy drawing as well!

I want to share some drawing exercises you also can have fun with. That's the one I´m doing lately to improve and learn how to draw faces and people.

Do you see someone you know?

When I'm riding on public transport, I look at the faces that come and go and armed with my sketchbook and a pen, I draw quick portraits (about 30 seconds) of random people. Everyone is usually on its phone, so no one will notice.

What`s the goal of this practice:

Improve observation - every portrait start from a specific feature, and from there the drawing evolves catching the mood.

Embrace spontaneity - there´s no erasing, redrawing and overthinking. Accept mistakes.

I'm also collecting references for a future project I'm not spoiling yet!
