Tip #32: Observe People

Go to a park or public place, and observe people.  Sit on a bench and bring a notepad to write down what you see.  (Sorry if this sounds creepy, but as artists we must truly understand human behavior to be able to express it in our art!)  Take notes about how you see people interacting with each other.  Did a little girl cry when she drop her ice cream?  Is a couple fighting? Did someone do something that surprised you?

Always be observing, you never know what you might witness.
