More People in Motion 2015

I am continuing to focus on applying the techniques taught in the first 3 lessons of Marc Taro Holmes's online Craftsy course. My drawn line is becoming more fluid and I am becoming more comfortable sketching in a smaller format. Marc's process for capturing a moving figure is very helpful. Now more practice! 

At an uninstructed drawing session, we had the challenges of trying to capture a juggler turned musician/singer. Here are my efforts...
