How can I become more interested in drawing realistic people?
Gillman Donald asks:
Question
I'm an artists who has a hard time drawing regular people, because it gets very dull.
How can I make it interesting?
Answer
try to draw them in unusual situations or settings. Also, drawing people from different angles makes it more exciting, for example, drawing a person from the back- you don't always have to show the face to draw people. Whatever you do like to draw, you could always add that into the background to make the drawing more interesting. Try things like drawing someone brushing their teeth, making funny faces, smoking a cigarette, stretching, running, dancing, etc. I find that if the person is doing more action than just staring at the viewer, it makes them a lot more fun and interesting to draw.
