Thanks Joshua! I struggle everyday in capturing the gist of poses. I am trying not to get too fixated by going in loops everyday from practicing the very basics to gestures then to drawing one complete sketch to test out how much I’ve grasped.

Gesture is this one thing that I feel I should truly absorb to have some real qualities in my drawings. Sometimes I feel so close to getting it, but some other times it just disappears and leave me completely lost..lol. It’s a fun challenge that seems will be with me for times.

Day 21:

Did a self-portrait today and it exposed so many shortcomings..Maybe it will be fun to look back and laugh at it one day in the future. It has a positive meaning though – it’s a pose about two things that I always do before drawing: “rolling up my sleeves” and “tying up my hairs”, ready for the challenges.

[Jenny]

Don’t know if anyone has the same problem: whenever I start copying, my drawings become stiff. I feel that I draw mostly based on intuition at this stage, like whatever feels right… My challenge now is how to combine knowledge, intuition and observation into one expressive picture. It may come with practices one day. I’m still lacking many skills.

Day 22: practiced ellipses, and tried for the first time drawing poses from imaginations.

[Jenny]

Day 23: developing sense of forms, movements, and life.
