Since the last post there has been quite a bit of drawing practice. Even this post will not get us all the way back up to current. But here is what we are.
Looking Ahead in Proko
Recently, I found myself moving on a bit in the Proko Figure Drawing course. Having never done any art training, if found that every time I move ahead, I am learning things that are helpful for the earlier lessons. And so I have looked ahead a bit. As a result you will see some drawings from the Mannequinization lesson included in the drawing practice pdf. I was actually pleasantly of how they turned out. Even though, I think the majority of the really good ones were from first watching his example and then trying to recreate it.
Take a Chill Pill and Draw
Since my struggles with my ego from the last post. I’ve just committed to drawing (hopefully it sticks). Just sitting backing and drawing. Not overly worried about getting better faster. If actually started enjoying it a bit more. The biggest breakthrough was coming to grips with how crazy it is to think that in one month I should be putting down lines that are as beautiful as artists that have been doing this for over a decade!
That is just unrealistic.
I’ve been listening to a few YouTube artists as well and it’s been good. One that’s been keeping it real for my lately is Love Life Drawing. I like his channel. Down to earth and encouraging.
You will also see the random (non-figure drawing) pop up in my practice from time to time. Well, sometimes … you just draw for fun. 🙂
Here’s this batch of practice sheets.
