Hello.
I just
want to learn how to draw. I don’t know why and I don’t have any artistic goal. I like almost any kind of art. I like classic comic like Moebius or Frazetta and renaissance and baroque artists like Durer, Sancio, Rembradt…
By the look of your ellipses I think that you need to be more relaxed when drawing.
Try to hold the pencil like that (you can hold the pencil as you want when drawing but that’s just for exercising). Get a good distance from the paper, your hand, your arm and your shoulder need to be relaxed. And then make the ellipse with all your body. Make the gesture with your body as a pianist move his body whith the music. Don’t care if your ellipses look incomplete, faint or if there is a little overshoting. Try to “ghost” the ellipse once or twice and then make the actual ellipse.
Your ducks show an understanding of 3d forms that is not common. You are going to be good.
Hey, folks.
I’m still in the challenge but I have not feeling like posting.
I completed the two first weeks of Mark’s course. I’ve been drawing along with him the first pose.
I’ve just completed the first approach to the second reference image but in this case I’ve done it in advance and now I´m going to see what Mark do with it (and probably get depressed and swear I’m never going to take a pencil again).
Ok, Ok, This is the third day in the challenge and it has yet evolved in something different but with the same objetive.
Following Joshua advice I’ve started Mr Westermoe 10 week program on figure drawing.
Somehow that is going to assure the completion of the first part of the challenge (at least 20 minutes of NMA training) but it hurts the second part. I’m not going to be able to draw two figures a day.
Today I have learned somethig really important: Don’t rush.
And this below is my (incompleted) work. I rushed. But there are 97 days ahead for improvement.
