Life Drawing Continues

Busy, busy…

Yesterday was breakneck paced, but quite decent too. Dashing into Life Drawing in the morning, I patted myself on the back that I’ve gone three weeks in a row now and I’m not going to stop. The forms came together faster and the structure is starting to balance with the gesture a bit more. I know that at some point I’m going to have a stall in quality and it’ll irritate me, but right now it seems to be helping my confidence and RPG artwork as well.

I tried a couple different techniques for drawing the figure, some with loose heavy lines and a couple with very sensitive thin lines. Varying the approach can yield new approaches and give you a different outlook on what you’re seeing. Being able to do that at my own whim rather than under an instructor’s marking sheet is quite nice. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s very important to receive instruction and I asked for feedback from the instructor, but knowing that I’m not gunning for a portfolio or end of the term mark is a lot more relaxing.
