I feel like I'm walking on air. Life drawing is one of those things I have enjoyed doing a lot in the past because I always feel like I'm making progress. To be able to do it and learn new perspectives and idea so far from home really makes me feel good about myself. It has been such a long time since I have done any proper drawing and so I'm rather rusty. but what better than to graft from the beginning.
The first rough poses were 1 minute drawings. Later a range of 5, 10, 20 and 30 minute drawings. In the final drawing, I was guided to start from the centre of the model, then map outwards using directional lines and points to guide me. I was also to use my weaker hand as doing so will force me to look harder at my subject rather than relying on habit to create lines. The result is the beginning of exploration of the form, which adds weight and solidity to the model on paper as well as just being more accurate
I feel revelation for not restricting myself by doubt or ego and just really exploring my way into the action and waiting to see what happens. It was very different for me and I feel like I have learned something new. I like the result.
