March 5th – 9th, 2018, urban sketchers Marc
Taro Holmes (Montreal, CA) and Liz Steel (Sydney,
AUS) invite the world to join in with #OneWeek100People2018.
Every aspiring artist has heard the advice ‘Carry
a small sketchbook at all times!’. We’re all told ‘Practice drawing
every day!’.
This is great advice, but sometimes we need a little extra motivation.
Feel free to work from photos, or
do a self-portrait series. It’s all fair game. However you choose to do it, the
simple goal is: Draw 100 people in one week.
You can use any media you like: pencil drawings, or pen and ink, maybe
digital sketches? Whatever you’d like to practice most.
The goal is PRACTICE. Not perfection. Think of us
as your gym trainers. standing behind you yelling ‘Get out there! Keep your
hands moving!’
100 people is a pretty fair goal. It’s a lot, but it’s not impossible.
It’s going to mean working hard or working fast. If you’re doing
1-minute gestures, it’s only 20 minutes of work each day. (It can take you more
time to find a group of people to draw :) But, if you’re doing 20 minute watercolors
– you might have to find a way to catch up later in the week.
We’re committing to draw about 20 people a day, and
we’ll be posting our work every day for the week of March 5th-9th. If you want
to join in, please use the hashtag #OneWeek100People2018 so
everyone will be able to find your work across all the platforms people use.
We encourage you to search that hashtag every morning, and see what
other people are doing!"
I can't promise I'll do a hundred, but I'm going to give it my best shot.
