Saw a fantastic presentation from "The Herds" today. www.theherds.org

A crowd of people gathered on a cobbled street.

A large, light-coloured cardboard animal, resembling a deer or moose, is being moved by individuals.

Historic buildings with outdoor seating and awnings line the street.

The setting appears to be a lively outdoor event or festival.

A large, light-brown cardboard giraffe puppet is being maneuvered down a narrow, cobblestone street.

Numerous people are gathered, watching the performance, many with phones out.

The street is lined with multi-coloured old buildings, suggesting a historic European setting.

Such a nice ink drawing! I'm an animator by day but try and get as much lifedrawing in as I can. Five and two/one minute poses these.

So nice palettes and love how expressive your characters are! I'm an animator by day and lifedrawer by night.

An abstract watercolour and ink drawing of a seated woman with the back towards us.

A watercolour man defined by a few strokes with most of the ink details around the face and becoming more and more abstract the further down you go.

Several one minute poses spread out over a paper. Many of the contour lines are left out so the characters blend into the paper.

Thanks for hosting! Just joined this place, animator by day but I do a lot of lifedrawing. Hopefully these won't be hidden behind the "suggestive content" filter.

#intro continued. When not animating I spend a lot of time at different #lifedrawing venues here in Stockholm. A fantastic way to focus and get away from all screens. #art #ink #watercolour #drawing #fromlife
