Public doodle

(C) 2017 Dale DiMauro

With the Christmas season in full swing, I attended our local Community Messiah Sing. In addition, to getting into the Christmas spirit, it was an opportunity to sketch your neighbor or neighbors' profile between songs. 

Capturing an individual in a natural pose can be a difficult task even if it is as simple as a two minute sketch. People constantly fidget about, not, unlike a bird. For example, people incessantly adjust their hair or glasses and run their hand over their face. 

At this scale, I am trying to capture the essence of someone without getting technical. Sketching these doodles makes me want to do more and develop others into larger drawings.
