One Week 100 people

3/12/2023

 
A fun drawing challenge! Once again this year, took part in the "One Week 100 People" challenge. The goal this year was to draw all 100 people from life, with no photo reference. That can be a challenge, as you have to find indoor places to sketch or freeze outside! Here in London, ON, Canada, Tuesday, March 7 was -2 feels like -9 degrees Celsius.
 
"Taking inspiration from online challenges such as 
#Inktober, urban sketchers Marc Taro Holmes (Montreal, CA) and Liz Steel (Sydney, AUS) invite the world to join in with #OneWeek100People – every year in the first week of March!"

Monday - Day 1: Tim Hortons on my way home from work for coffee and sketching (first 10 people)
Tuesday, Day 2:  Covent Garden Market was the destination for sketching (27 people)
Wednesday, Day 3: Cherryhill Village Mall, with fellow urban sketcher was the destination (22 people)
Thursday, Day 4: Just a few out my front window
Friday, Day 5: Back to the Covent Garden Market for the rest of the sketches
​Challenge Complete: Total was 105!
