October Art Journal Spread

Painting people can be intimidating until you figure them out. One simple trick I like to use is that they are like carrots. Wider at the top than the bottom. Heads don’t have to be attached with a neck, they can just be. Hands, leave them out. If you have room add shadows on the ground and make sure it matches up with the light and dark parts of the bodies. Dark pants or legs need a light background. Light tops a darker background so them stand out. 

Have at it and enjoy. Share with me what you have done.
