I decided for today to do a tour of the town and see if I can find any first impressions to work with me through next week. I found a woman selling a big issue at somebodies memorial tree who wasn't having much success selling. Most people answered no while others made desperate attempts to pretend they didn't see her.
I made some lines studies of the people that past her as as a rough sketch and a photo:


I eventually brought a big issue from her thinking it would be helpful for later.

I found some street performers who were getting mix looks even though they were playing energetically and loud as well as funky.
I did the same procedures here as well.



I found a street lined up with groups of people handing out leaflets. The one that got the most attention was the group from Corporation in Sheffield with an energetic presentation and loud appearance. Second were the group from the Leadmill who had a similar idea except not as loud and not as many participants. I did some line studies from people who passed both of this groups and see how the react to each of them in one line.


Leadmill:


Corp group:


Lastly there was a group of religious folk handing out leaflet's about the after affect of death, who just stood there.



I also drew a homeless man who sat down not doing anything probably not getting much attention.
