Drawing Cyclists with iPad + Procreate

Rob Sketcherman, Hong Kong

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: They whiz through tunnels under the Rijskmuseum and sail over the many sun-dappled bridges of the city. A huge part of Amsterdam’s character is the sight of cyclists on its streets, as well as the landscape of bicycles parked everywhere. To leave bicycles and cyclists out of your sketches for fear of attempting such seemingly complicated components would be a real shame! (That’s like going to Paris and not drawing the Eiffel Tower!) Yes, it looks complicated, but things always look hard to draw until you know how. And even when not drawing cities ruled by cyclists, adding one (or a few) adds a different level of character to your work. This workshop introduces accessible ways to draw cyclists for sketchers of every level, including those who feel they can’t / don’t draw people / are unsure about how to sketch digitally. We’ll break it down into easy bits and have you sailing along!
