About Thomas47

Beginner/novice (novice/beginner). With absolutely no drawing experience at 70yrs of age I decided to learn to draw. Have worked with an instructor weekly since Sept.
Have done contour drawings, blind contour drawings, a couple of disastrous gesture drawings. Pencil control needs lots of work. Teacher does not like video tuts for the most part. Also have done upside down drawings of the Stravinsky type. She has taught me there are no mistakes in drawing, i'm too self critical, and tense up when I put pencil to paper. I doodle often just to build up pencil 'mileage'. I very much want to learn all I can and develop skills, techniques and knowledge. Also to not be afraid and freaking out about doing gesture drawings. Comments are definitely welcome.
