Learn how to capture the lives and stories of people in urban settings both familiar and exotic. Tim will explore drawing people in spaces and places that suggest emotionally resonant narratives, from the quiet moments of subway rides to lively scenes in cafés. Subjects will include drawing people in-scale within both interior and exterior spaces, helping to bring out the character of each setting. This talk touches on the worlds of fashion, illustration and cartoons with an emphasis on spontaneity, style and experimenting with various media. You’ll be introduced to convenient, expressive sketching tools like brush pens, fountain pens, and Posca markers—perfect for capturing quick, engaging snapshots of city life and transforming everyday urban scenes into story-driven art.
