hahaha Toodles! Meat, try look at series. The in-our-times ones. They have more much character in them then fashion references (seriously lol)

Ursula: it's what we put to use that matters, I suppose. There're lots of cafe here, but I don't use them almost at all. Afraid to have people see me "wasting my time"

11 Mar 07:35

lol, does that mean your face is covered in gum, Toodles?

11 Mar 07:34

as if I cannot even imagine a basic character design wearing clothes

11 Mar 07:33

each time I try to come up with a character, and comes to what they wear, my mind blanks out

Mr. Toodles

wet, strange, and looking at you

Mr. Toodles

im like the grubby underside of the tables of those shady bars

11 Mar 07:16

I have been using the mall for that. It's the best all around solution, but limited demographic

11 Mar 07:16

we don't have coffee shops the way you guys have it up there :( mostly restaurants and shady bars lol

People also tend to just speak before thinking. When toning a white canvas in the opening you get a lot of people saying "Wow he's just scribbling"

Ursula: even inside a cafe?

11 Mar 06:52

just got asked to do a part time as van driver for picking up parcels

(that being said, I have trouble because I am afraid of being mugged. Being a public area and being concentrated on something? invitation for trouble, around this areas)

The problem of drawing in public in general is looking like "that guy". Just let it go and do it hehe :) Do it on malls, coffee shops, public parks, commute

11 Mar 06:18

I've done it before, but that was mostly artsy people anyways.

11 Mar 06:18

Party might be the wrong word, but yeah, just drawing people in general is a thing that people do.

11 Mar 06:16

It depends what sort of party it is. Sort I tend to go to tend to end up as people sitting around chatting anyways.

DanialG

Wouldn't wanna be that guy

11 Mar 06:13

Obviously, you sacrifice some of the party portion though

11 Mar 06:13

There's invariably going to be people standing around in roughly the same pose.

Drawing at a party?

11 Mar 06:10

Alternatives to life drawing: Draw friends, take it to parties, draw people in public, etc.
