Portraits & Sketches

Click an image to enlarge

Most of these were done for myself, out in the world. Known as Reportage, or Urban Sketching, or even Reportorial Illustration, these are sketches made on the spot, designed to capture the essence of a place or event, & the people involved. Because no one is posing, they are often made rather quickly, "at the speed of life".  Other sketches here were done in my figure drawing group.
