Friday fun #21

Posted by Laura JB November 27th, 2009

Oranges are not the only fruit… but here at LBi we got creative post-rave afternoon style with a brilliant Friday fun session, inspired by Siddhi from EA and his incredible sketch training for the EAs.
All you creatives – when was the last time you really drew something… I mean REALLY? We hide behind the “I used to sketch at school/uni but I havent’ done it for ages” thing – hoping our ideas are good enough… but how hard can we really get teh visual image to work? Have we forgoten what it can convey? And is it a springboard for more lateral ideas?

Sitting on the floor of the rave-of-the-night-before (with the beer fridges open) it would be easy to fade away on a Friday afternoon, but the creative team (boosted by our super techies and the new EA grads) invigorated themselves with a bit of “life” drawing. Knowing that a bit of Vitamin C wouldn’t go astray, we grabbed a few bags of oranges from the Taj Stores down the road, and went for gold, sketching fruit.

What does a lonely orange look like? How can you draw an orange showing an understanding of it? What does it look like when its angry? In 4 minute sessions (or thereabouts) we sketched away for the best part of an hour and a half, and shared our very silly pictures.
