People Skills Reflection & Resources

A place to share helpful human-drawing bits and breakthroughs!
sketches of man walking tipping his hat by Beth Spencer

It’s been a privilege to spend 30 days practicing drawing humans with you.

I thought I’d struggle to set aside more time to play with my fancy paints, but sketching people in pencil was exactly what I needed to kick start the year full of inspiration. Thank you!

The People Skills series is here for you to dip in and out of whenever you want to practice drawing humans or refresh some classic drawing techniques! It’s also linked in our Contents Page, which is great to bookmark for easy navigation.

If you dropped off or skipped days, that’s you listening to yourself — so well done! You can come catch up and do the exercises at your own pace. I’ll add to it as I find references and make discoveries in my practice.
