50min pencil study

by Pixel202, April 23rd 2023 © 2023 Pixel202

This study was done during an in person life drawing class and fills an A2 page. This study was the second of 2 poses done in the class, and I belive that it was much more successful. The shading of the back is not great, but the light in the class did not help in spoting the shadows

Well, well, well, that's the most excellent job on how you've rendered the backside and back I've ever seen, but the edges all seem too stilted and timidest to me yet, so how would you care to go for your very first 10 minute blind contour drawing, then the 5 minute blind contour, and later, the 2 minute one, next the 60 second one, and finally, the 30 second blindest contour?

As a result, not only you'll constantly improve your perceptions of lines, but also, you'll give your right side of your brain the greatest exercise of your career! For most details, please look into The Natural way to Draw(Nicolaides), Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain(4th Definitive Edition), and Drawing on the Artist Within.(Edwards)

My hat's off to you.
