First unterwegs of 2019!

Unterwegs reading guy by Suzanne Forbes Jan 20 2019Drawing a foreshortened face is always a good challenge.

I appreciate people who are reading a book very much for this! I have a tutorial about drawing skulls here where I talk about my approach to the face in perspective.Unterwegs wrapped up guy by Suzanne Forbes Jan 20 2019

People in Berlin are all so bundled up in the winter!

Thanks to menopause I run hot and wear about half as much wrapping as most people. Sitting on the cozy subway and buses and trams, I marvel at their bundling. Many people do not even open their coats on the train! While I get on and am immediately clawing mine open 🙂

Dancer unterwegs Jan 29 2019 by Suzanne Forbesedit. to add one person who DOESN’T bundle up: this very tall pole dancing guy I’ve seen several times on the U7!

All the thanks to my beautiful Patrons on  Patreon whose monthly financial contributions make it possible for me to make documentary art of life in Berlin.

Nice daddy by Suzanne Forbes March 23 2017

I have been making so many drawings it’s hard to keep up.

These two sweet daddies were encountered on different day trips to meet Daria someplace. I hope I conveyed their amazing love and tenderness. The one above was letting his daughter go boldly ahead, not constraining her. I had to redraw a lot very quickly to convey that his arm was extended, just barely keeping a delicate hold on her hood, not pulling her back towards himself.

clean chocolate baby March 17 2017 Suzanne ForbesThis dad had kinda greasy hipster hair but his child was immaculate, even though it was eating some kind of chocolate-covered biscuit.

I have never seen a child eat chocolate so neatly, and I have never seen a dad so thrilled to be riding the subway with his baby.

And here is an unterweg drawing I like just because it’s so loose and fast!
