ABSTRACT
Becoming a people watcher is a must for quick sketching. As simple as sketching can be (just putting lines on paper or doodling), it can be more in-depth if one wants to take sketching to another level; not attempting to make sketching complex, just seeking a better understanding of the lines committed to paper. To do this, the artist must analyze and observe the actions of the people around. The observation of nuances that make individuals unique is an art in itself. Comedians have the ability to imitate others to make us laugh at some trait of some wellknown celebrity or exaggerated action, like drunkenness, excitement, or fear. A smile is brought on our faces when we see John Wayne’s swaggering gait and voice imitated, or Charlie Chaplin’s “Little Tramp” character’s scamper, or hear a well-known distinctive voice. These are but a few of the immediately recognizable traits that set them apart as easily recognizable.
