Hi,
My name is Lenin. I attend a 2hr life drawing session every Sunday. On the rest of the days I practice - quick sketches/ gesture drawing, contour drawing, drawing the mannequin etc for about 30mins.
I am a big fan of Line drawing and that is my priority at this stage. I don't know much about shading, coloring etc. but I would love to try them out when I'm getting bored.
So, looking forward to suggestions on how to improve.
Thanks a lot!
I think you could benefit from applying some subtlety to your line, plus maybe trying to make the line that is in shadow darker than the one on the other side of the form.
I love your studies of hands and feet though, in general your geometric approach is quite nice to look at - I will definitely try this the next time I get a chance : )!
Thanks a lot. I will try the light/dark lines approach.
Applying subtlety to the line - can you explain this further please?
Hey sorry for the late response!
With subtlety(is that spelled right xD?) I just mean that you could maybe try to press lighter on some parts of the lines to imply light and then, as I wrote, make the line opposite from that, darker. Its not a huge deal, I just noticed that your lines a quite harsh : ) maybe what it is, is that you try to get the right line in the first try? so you stress about it?
I should have written this in the initial response. I'm sorry - I even had to go look at your drawings again to figure out what a-month-ago-me meant : )
