People energize a scene

I'm practicing different drawing and painterly techniques adding people to scenes. It's necessary to work quickly when sketching a live scene. No time for detail, buy adding people brings more life and interest to the composition. It's important to quickly capture the silhouette and large shapes that will help portray  the subject accurately. Form and mass, or volume. Then follow along to add realistic, expressive details with each new passerby. Once your composition is in place, use ink to draw in all the details and develop form, then bring the subjects to life with watercolor. Going to take practice!
