I Draw Random People I See On The Street Or In Bars Just For Fun

ADVERTISEMENT

There are some of my illustrations I did for myself. I mostly draw them in between my jobs.

I work as an storyboard artist most of the time. As you probably know – working in advertising is a hectic job with lots of tight deadlines. So I’m doing these characters just for fun, taking as much time as I want.

I just try to capture someone I saw walking on the street or in a bar. This is also a great way for me to try out new brushes and things.

Huge overweight people with little bikes are always worth drawing.

Believe it or not, this is a neighbor from my old neighborhood.

    Started with the mustache and worked my way around it.

    Parents kissing…YUCK

    This is what can come out of drawing and doodling for fun. Art director picked up on the characters and hired me to do some pretty fast sketches for a commercial job.

    The artist sees people on the street doing normal things, walking their dog, riding bikes, talking, going here and there, etc, and they just draw what they see. So the artist actually saw a real fat man on a tiny bike with crazy hair and just took that concept and drew it on paper, but over exaggerated it for comedic and artistic effect. So those are everyday people and scenes, just heavily stylized. However, as the artist explains, some of these artworks they made are assignments or work for a project or company.
