5 Scale Figure Drawers

In researching different ways to show scale figure drawing in other people's work, I stumbled upon the work of Matt Jones on the Urban Sketch Artists blog. He incorperates a couple different techniques in figure drawing to scale with the backgrounds, when people are closer he draws more detail to them, but when they are farther away there isn't even a distinguishing between male and female figures. It also conveys a sense of depth with the scale of the background architecture.
Samantha Szaza also has an interesting way of presenting her figures, in the image above of a market scene she draws figures that are in the foreground with much detail and begins to fade the still detailed figures in the background out in the drawing like a vignette.

I took an interest in Veronica Lawlor's work with figure drawing because of the signature splash of color she seems to add into her work that draws my eyes to the center of the page. The couple of examples of her work that I've seen are mostly large crowds of people depicted to show the scale of a large object like the New York City Christmas tree or a large are like a skating ring. Though its hard to distinguish all the figures in the background because its such a large crowd it gives is an abstract feeling in a real life drawing.

James Hobbs is another example of another type of scale figure drawing, rather then draw the details of the people in the composition, he draws very basic figures that cannot be distinguished between male and female but give you a good notion of the scale of the image and the structures in the background.

Greg Betza's scale figure drawing is more focused on the background work, mostly with architecture, the figures have basic shape to them and minor details like out line of clothes and hair. And just like Veronica Lawlor's work, he adds splashes of color to his, though his are more thought out to the light and shadow of the sketches.
