I went to the Terrible Adult Chamber Orchestra (TACO) to sketch the musicians again today. I did use my brush pen to do some gestural drawing as my warm-up. Somehow I still kept messing up the proportion of various body parts while drawing individual musicians. I wonder if it was because I was trying too hard on capturing the resemblance.
As it was the beginning of TACO's holiday season today, there was a pop-up chorus group singing along with the orchestra. Most of the singers were family or friends of a musician in the orchestra.
Anyway, I finished 4 sketches that I was happy with. One of them was not listed here as the trombonist's wife bought the sketch. Instead of paying me, I asked the wife to donate to TACO. She did point out (complained) that her husband isn't as chubby as in my sketch. I don't think I made her husband fat but he really isn't skinny to my Taiwanese eyes! Note to myself: remember to shave of a few pounds when sketching at TACO next time.
Everyone's a critic, especially if they look fat in a sketch! :-)
