    the guys talking to you were so sweet haha they seemed so genuinely curious and interested

    aw what a wholesome interaction u caught on video. the awkwardness is so relateable. i probably wouldnt carry the conversation as long as u did

  • @ChantelleArts
    @ChantelleArts Год назад +160

    You did really well sketching in such a busy place! ❤ I would’ve felt so awkward 😬

    • @qiyiyi29

      me too, so I use movie as references. :P

    • @ChantelleArts
      @ChantelleArts Год назад +5

      @J.Shelby I wasn't a fan of the noise either, I'm an inside person. I've found painting on beaches and fields to be rather empty, it might be good to try and find somewhere near you that isn't busy and try painting there

    • @ChantelleArts
      @ChantelleArts Год назад +3

      @J.Shelby that sounds lovely, you should definitely give it a go ☺

    A deep thank you for those of us who are too anxious to draw at the mall with tons of people 😂❤

    @clover9332 Год назад +65

    I'm obsessed with this new series!! I work from home so it makes me feel not as alone ❤️ I was in a bad mood this morning, and this made me so happy, like magic!

  • @danaledala
    @danaledala Год назад +51

    Amazing sketches! :)
    I'm from Germany and tried really hard to understand them, but the combination of their mumbling and the loud background noises made it nearly impossible haha. At first he noticed that you're drawing, but I could not understand what he said afterwards. Some seconds later he was just asking his wife which meat she got with her burger whatever she had.
    But it's pretty normal for Germans to have a rather "cold" look to them. People tend to be more to themselves which does not mean that they try to be rude. At least in my experience haha. I'm sure they liked your drawings. :)

  • @a.captiveaudience
    @a.captiveaudience Год назад +6

    The conversation is so relatable, I don’t like people knowing I draw but when they do see me I always get told to do commissions and then I have to explain I just like doing my own thing lol

  • @BunNessa_Art
    @BunNessa_Art Год назад +32

    The commentary/ conversation from the two friends was awesome! 🤣 it made me laugh a lot! Also, would you be able to break down how you draw people from life? Like even the basic forms? It was interesting to see how you were sketching them 🙂🥰
    I should clarify that, to me it looks like you take a different approach from how you normally sketch to how you sketch from life (when the subject is moving and you have a little bit of time to capture that pose before they move). 🙂

  • @ameliarodrigues5323
    @ameliarodrigues5323 Год назад +24

    I could never draw in such a place. I hate when people come near me to sneak peak what i'm doing. I guess that is because i'm pretty insecure about the process, and don't wanna fell like i'm being pressured by the eyes of other people. But all the people that talk to you in the videos seem real nice. Great video by the way.

  • @mothcub

  • @colourmequaint9690
    @colourmequaint9690 Год назад +16

    You're so good at this! I am impressed how you kept drawing while you were talking to the guys. As an introvert, I also appreciate moments of connection with strangers! I would definitely chat you up if I met you 😀

  • @safegourd
    @safegourd Год назад +6

    I remember once I was sketching at the beach and made direct eye contact with a guy I was drawing - learned to wear sunglasses after that! Lovely art as always

  • @kimharbaugh
    @kimharbaugh Год назад +19

    I twirl my pencil to get the crisp edge, maybe that’s what you’re doing unconsciously! You’re such a fantastic artist!

  • @gabrielveras123
    @gabrielveras123 Год назад +19

    This is awesome! You're so precise that you bang them out quickly, they all have so much character. Love it.

  • @sopaesapos
    @sopaesapos Год назад +7

    Love the talking in this one! People were so friendly and while the talk came up i could get to my drawing while listening. Really sweet I'm really enjoying the series (that I just binge watchedit

  • @cheralynn4417
    @cheralynn4417 Год назад +3

    "...I want to hide forever." Haha! I know exactly what you mean 😀 Eaton Center would be the perfect place for winter urban sketching--thanks for sharing.

  • @jamesrautha162
    @jamesrautha162 Год назад +4

    I'd love to be able to sketch people as (seemingly) effortlessly as you do! Really struggling to capture likeness at the moment. Thanks so much for sharing - encourages me to keep at it.

  • @lauren-dawn2082
    @lauren-dawn2082 Год назад +12

    Awh I loved this, it's so hard to go and sit and draw where people can see you and interact with you but you made it seem really fun, I'm inspired to try again :)

  • @linzertube
    @linzertube Год назад +6

    Great job, Chris! Honestly, you are so good at these quick sketches, capturing people while they sat oblivious. You got pages of very different people. I’m glad that you had some interaction with other people, too. To be able to interact while still drawing is a skill!

  • @emhuesart
    @emhuesart Год назад +9

    I've drawn people at the Eaton Centre as well! Super fun but also slightly terrifying haha. Loved the video Chris! ❤

  • @lilonishi
    @lilonishi Год назад +6

    i've said it everytime, but i love watching these!! I would have struggled so much to film and draw when there's so many distractions around but you did amazingly!! All of your sketches look so dynamic and well done too! 🥰

    @LehTieKah Год назад +3

    Great episode! I get really nervous about drawing people irl because I feel like I'm violating their privacy so I really like seeing other people do it and have the same concerns, giving their solutions to the awwardness. Also I still laugh when I remember the subway voice announcing Dundas Station cause I'm mentally 10 years old lol

    @Riccolo7 Год назад +1

    This is very inspiring to watch, because I too used to do the SAME thing in an outdoor department store parking lot(using charcoal). You seem very relaxed. It's a great exercise to develop speed! I Never received complaints about privacy. Most people were generally flattered just to a subject at all😊.

    @CochelleM Год назад +1

    you inspired me to draw outside again!

  • @BethDooner
    @BethDooner Год назад +1

    Oooh, I'd never considered drawing in a food court. Since they're that much bigger, I feel less like I am taking up a space for someone else (or that someone is gonna come over and tell me I need to order more); and I imagine you get a much bigger variety of folk!
    I am no video editing guru or anything, but when the angle is upside down from filming, it's always worth seeing how it looks rotated. A lot of the time it's easier to film "upside down" especially when working at a table, but for viewing later our eyes will kinda work around the weirdness of the footage if we're looking at it the right way up.
    I love how much character you got into these portraits! I can genuinley imagine them all there.
    Also those two guys were great, I can understand why their personalities made them easier to interact with!

    @heidilorenz3517 Год назад

    Hello Chris. I really love seeing you out sketching from life. That takes courage. I understand a stealthy approach to observing subjects is definitely needed in such a location & on Black Friday no less. So brave. I enjoyed the general buzz of the busy environment around you. I live quietly in the country so the novelty of the busy mall was fun. The interaction with the young men was lovely. Thank you!

    So awesome, i love watching you sketch!! I've always wanted to draw out in public like this but i get so shy, but seeing you brave through it inspires me a lot!! Also loved the interaction with those guys haha, i love that you can always tell someone doesnt draw a lot when they call people "drawers" (i think its cute)

  • @BenHillArt
    @BenHillArt Год назад +9

    So cool! I have a drawing in my sketchbook that you did of me while I wasn't paying attention at the IMC a few years back! I remember being so excited when I flipped open my book and saw it in there like a little suprise :) I cherish it!

    The second drawing you did on the first page made me think of Dmitri Shostakovich. 😛

    I have a white "Foldable Video Recording Phone Holder", you can search it. it works so well either on the table or on floor. I bring it to many places already, It can fold into a cuboid and just bigger than a phone, heavy and stable. I hope this could help your set up easier.

    @coltengear96 Год назад

    Great content as usual! I couldn't help noticing the pencil twirling myself lol I also do this, and I think it's to find the sharpest point of the pencil. So I can get the most precise lines. That's just me at any rate. Not sure if it's the same for you.

    i went sketching at Eaton center the other day as well! I sat at Real Fruit Bubbletea and I was too scared to look at one person for too long so I mostly just made the details up lol. Ended up with a lot of back views of ppl just because I don't dare look them in the face.
