I'm an artfag and I take public transport every day. I have a huge urge to take photos of people I see and use them as references. What should I do?
>>2435801
Open a photography studio and make people pay you to take pictures of them. Maybe thatll calm your urges. It's legal to photograph people in public though. So go right ahead if youre buff. Just play surveillance man level autism when confronted.

I thought I was the only one
Learn basic composition so your pictures look like actual art instead of just creep shots. I take pictures of people all the time, and if they say anything, I show them.
>>2435801
buy a professional looking camera and have it hanging from your neck
why not just take your sketchbook a good versatile pen and a water filled brush and just get to work then and there?
is it muh digital art and lame traditional?
just get a sketchbook and a pencil
most people will love you for sketching them even though I got flamed by some shitty off duty cop talking to me about sexual harassment cause I drew a women.
I told him to fuck off as In If she wants to sue me for it, she's just gonna lose money. Its fucking legal to draw whatever you like.

Ask them and take the picture?
People in the Middle Ages wouldn't have posted that because they wouldn't be scared of social interaction in the first place, fuckboy.
>>2436043
this isnt hte middle ages go back to sketching, da vinci
Do not take photos of people without asking, that's weird. People sketching/cafe sketching is a good exercise, so just draw them.
>ask first
Then they always do some stupid pose.
I get the appeal of taking shots of random people, without them knowing, it gets a far better picture that way.
It's completely legal though unless you snap a shot of a police escorts mission in which case you might get it confiscated.
>>2435808
that was an interesting watch
>>2436060
This.
It helps when you have a camera that looks professional and don't make it obvious that you are taking photos of the people, make it look like you are taking photos of the general area.

>drawing people while waiting for class
>some girl notices
>sits near me and starts making weird poses
>after about 30 minutes of this she just straight up asks me why the fuck I'm not drawing her
>>2435801
learn how to sneakily take photos with no one noticing
>>2436361
kek
>>2435801
Cut out the middle man, drawing on the bus or train is fucking great, feels good when you get in rhythm with the bounces and bumps so they don't even throw you off your game.....fuck man brb going to go on a train to two the fuck cares and back
>>2436363
>learn how to sneakily draw with no one noticing
FTFY also get out
>>2435808
>It's NOT legal to photograph people in public WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT though.
FTFY
>>2435801
Im already doing that. What the fuck are you waoting for? Stop beong a insecure dipshit and snap photos with your phone.
>>2436530
no. its is legal. It's an awkward law but its there so people can harass celebrities.
I was thinking of just going out and if I see someone that looks interesting or if I like their style, I'll just tell them and ask if I can take a picture so I can use them as reference. I don't think anyone would turn that down.
>>2436567
Even as a digitalfag you're doing something wrong if you don't practice with pencil and paper
>>2435801
dude if you're trying to draw from life by taking pictures then drawing from photos you are completely missing the point. Just take out a moleskine or something and actually draw from life, you learn a lot more when you're actually in public- you've got less time to make mistakes and so only draw what is completely necessary.
>>2436567
Real skill is transferable element. Digital or pencil are just tools you master
>>2436361
I stop drawing people when they notice because of that.
Unless they think they're really sneaky and think I don't notice them noticing, then I just play dumb.
>>2436530
Its legal to photograph, its illegal to use those photographs for profit(?) Its a little strange how you get away with certain aspects, but the photographing of people in public places for personal use is perfectly legal.
>>2436530
Britbong here totally fine in public buildings
>>2437342
do you not know what paparazzi are?
>>2436695
Its really hard to draw little kids in public transport cause of that.
They always notice.
>>2437385
Paparazzi go after specific people already on the public eye. Things Paparazzi can do to stars isn't allowed to be done to your average person.

Would you guys ever give a random qt a sketch you drew of them? Is that too creepy?
If you're good enough it seems like it could be flattering / slick
>>2437875
no she wouldn't, because drawing in public and especially giving someone a drawing is autistic as it gets. it makes you look like a child who never grew out of drawing.
>>2438049
how is drawing in public autistic? anyone who goes to an art class would be considered autistic by your definition.
and how the fuck is giving someone a drawing autistic? does every thing have to be a monetary transaction? if you give someone a drawing as a gift are you being autistic?
you sound like a frightened retard.
>>2438049
>a child who never grew out of drawing
If you seriously think art is childish why are you on this board
>>2438049

Hide your phone in your pants, that way when you're taking pictures people will think you're just jacking off, so they'll pretend to not notice.
>>2438269
