While waiting at the Oakland DMV, I decided to sketch a few people who were waiting. Like me, we were all pretty agitated over the incredible wait time (2+ hours.) I don't think my sketch captures quite how unhappy these gentlemen were. Sketching people in public always presents a fun challenge; how fast can you visualize a likeness before you have to turn away quickly?
"Nubs" are a style of character I started back when I was in school (~2006). They are my favorite form of doodling: I can test out different expressions/emotions and styles. I never put any pressure on myself regarding how they turn out. I usually can sketch 10-20 and end up with 1-2 I genuinely like.
I went down to a basketball court to sketch a couple of pick-up games. This setting is a great challenge in speed and paring down the figure. I use a marker and water, spending an average of 30-45 seconds on each one.
