Here’s a few speed sketches I did of the very fast and furious band Shlug at The Swansea Fringe recently. Incredibly loud and rapid music and a lead singer who doesn’t stop, rapidly becoming one of my favourite bands. It’s a challenge to draw that quickly, especially in a dark venue (Hangar 18) with lots of jostling going on. But I like a challenge.
It’s hard to get a likeness with speed sketching, but what’s really good is that it forces you to get down the most essential components of the figure.
I messed around with this detail from one of the sketches in Adobe Photoshop Gradient Map just for fun.
